There is no risk, no commitment, just securing your place in line in applying for financial aid to help pay for the cost of college!!The FAFSA is your first step that is required for applying for any kind of federal or state grant for need-based aid (i.e. Federal Pell Grant, Oregon Opportunity Grant), most scholarships, work study programs, and student loans. Even if you think you will not qualify for need-based aid, many schools and scholarships require it to be considered for any kind of financial or academic award.
Financial aid is first-come, first-served, so the sooner you complete it, the better.
Please let your counselor know if you have any questions or visit the CCC FAFSA lab for expert one-on-one help!
