Fill out that FAFSA ASAP

We get it. It might feel like you just completed your FAFSA (aka, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid), but it’s already time to do it for the 2021–2022 academic year. We understand that forms like this aren’t the most exciting project to tackle, but it’s critical that you fill it out as soon as possible in order to be considered for need-based grants as well as student and parent loans. Fill out your FAFSA online here. Need some help? Schedule a Financial Aid appointment online.

Get your finances straight

Our series of “how to” events hosted by guest speakers from around CCAD continues on Zoom at 11 a.m. (EDT) on Thursday, Oct. 15, with Marketing Project Manager Andrea Jimenez, who will take you through the basics of personal finance.
