Why should I complete the FAFSA?

完成FAFSA可以让你被考虑申请联邦、州和某些类型的奖学金 of institutional financial aid.  The fastest way to submit your FAFSA is online at fafsa.gov.  Both of these methods allow the 联邦处理器对你的信息做“最后检查”,以确保你的FAFSA is ready for processing before it is submitted. 

Which FAFSA should I complete?

你需要每年完成FAFSA,你想要考虑财务 aid.  每年检查你所有的信息,因为你的资格可能会改变 depending on your family's circumstances.
