FAFSA (federal financial aid application) now open
After federal delays, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open. You must submit the FAFSA to apply for federal financial aid including grants, work-study and loans. The new version takes only 10 minutes to complete. The priority date is March 1. Visit K-State’s FAFSA page.
Three reasons to fill out the FAFSA even if you don’t plan to use loans or other financial aid:
- Many students qualify for Pell grants and don’t realize it.
- Many scholarships awarded through KSN require financial information that is drawn directly from the FAFSA.
- It’s helpful for students to have all their options ready as back-up in case their finances change throughout the year.
