FAFSA applications are currently being accepted, and Americans have just three more months to finish and submit theirs.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and it helps schools figure out how much you may need in assistance from the government.
Be sure to get your application turned in in time to receive the most aid you can during the next academic year.

When is the FAFSA deadline and how do you qualify?
The deadline for the 2022 FAFSA form is June 30 each year for the year you need aid.
Anyone is able to apply for the program regardless of income.
There aren’t any income limits, so those making more money could still see aid.
The FAFSA form will also help schools decide what to give students in the form of grants and scholarships.
Student loans: Are student loans allowed to be used for rent?
Your FAFSA is calculated depending on how much of a financial need you have.
The formula uses your expected family contribution with how much it costs for you to attend college.
The aid can be limited, so it’s important to get your application in as early as possible.
