Financial Aid & More

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the main application used to apply for federal or state-supported financial aid to pay for a college education. Potential qualifications for federal aid: Pell Grants and/or Loans.
The Georgia Student Finance Commission is another helpful resource.
CSS Profile is a separate financial aid application that is used by nearly 400 colleges, professional schools, and scholarship programs that award non-federal aid.
Check the list of participating colleges to see if the CSS Profile is required to apply for institutional financial aid.
Be mindful of the Federal FAFSA Deadline June 30, 2023Students and parents are REQUIRED to create FSA IDs
Cómo crear y utilizar la credencial FSA ID
Junior (2024) students and parents can NOW create their FSA IDs in preparation for the 2024-2025 school year ONLY!!
7 Things You Need Before Filling Out the 2023-2024 FAFSA
Seniors (2023), if any family income has changed since your parent/guardian's 2021 tax returns, please contact the college or university financial aid office concerning a possible "Financial Aid APPEAL."
*If the student is attending college early (Summer Semester), the FAFSA 2022-2023 application will need to be completed as well.
Tips for Filling Out FAFSA
While filling out your FAFSA form, make sure you...
- Have your username and password (FSA ID) ready.
- Double-check if your information is correct before you submit it.
- Don't close your browser until you see a confirmation page.
- Print or save your confirmation page.
-
All colleges & universities will have scholarship portals, websites or databases for students to review. However, in the last few years, a shift has taken place as it relates to their scholarship portals (sites or databases). Students must first apply, be ACCEPTED and then they are given access by way of an assigned student log-on ID which will give them access to the scholarship portals.
Early applicants need to take advantage of this scholarship portal immediately, as scholarships are typically internal to the college.
Beware: Some colleges & universities may have Scholarship Priority Deadlines
-
Scholarships can be found everywhere. AVOID SCAMS! You should never pay for help to find money for college.

Scholarship nominations are often processed to identify students with particular college and university interests. Nominations are based on the student college list.
Example: Davidson College - John M. Belk Scholarship
