FAFSA helps San Diego students access financial aid for college

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a key resource for millions of students and families in the U.S. seeking financial assistance for college, according to Tiempos de San Diego.

FAFSA determines eligibility for various types of aid including scholarships, grants, work-study programs, and federal loans with favorable terms.

All students aiming to receive financial aid for post-high school education should complete the FAFSA, regardless of family income, since it can also qualify applicants for institutional scholarships and state programs.

The FAFSA is available to students attending public or private universities, community colleges, technical or vocational programs, and graduate studies, including U.S. citizens and certain eligible non-citizens.

Local students in San Diego can benefit from completing the FAFSA to explore financial aid options that support their educational goals.
