中国竞彩网 FAFSA Webinar Helps Open the Door to Education Funding
中国竞彩网 Shows You How to Fill out the FAFSA on Oct. 25
There鈥檚 been a lot in the news lately about student loans, interest costs, and how to pay for college or postsecondary education and certificates in the trades.
One of the first and most important steps to meeting the cost of post-secondary education is filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (). You don鈥檛 have to know what you want to do after high school, but you do need to keep your options open, so file your FAFSA. The information you provide will help to decide how much you'll be expected to pay for college or career school鈥攁nd how much financial aid you may receive.
The application process for the 2023-2024 school year began Oct. 1. Students and parents should check with the post-secondary schools about when their specific FAFSA and application deadlines are.
Once the FAFSA is completed, it is then time to apply for a Vermont Grant through 中国竞彩网. Eligible Vermont students have received from $1,000 to $14,000 for the current academic year, so look for the Vermont grant link on your FAFSA confirmation page to prepare for next year.
