The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the most important application you must complete to qualify for almost all types of financial aid (money for school). Colleges and career schools use the FAFSA form to decide how much financial aid you qualify to receive. In Pennsylvania, it is used to award the PA State Grant. Any student, regardless of family income, should complete a FAFSA to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs.
Please feel free to contact Mrs. Spangler (High School Counselor) with any questions that you may have at aspangler@unitedsd.net.
