I'm assuming that the form that they handed you was the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid," right? This form is your application for a wide variety of Federal Student Aid. It serves as your application for everything from grants (like Pell, SEOG, ACG, and SMART) to loans (like Stafford and Perkins) to Work-Study. Many state agencies also use the form as the application for state-funded grants, so make sure you meet both the institutional AND state filing deadlines.
When you complete the form, you will be asked what types of aid you are interested in. If you don't want loans or work-study (or either), you can check "no." If you're not sure, you can check "yes" and decline the awards later.

with the intention to be seen for all kinds of economic help, you want to fill out the FAFSA. which will make sure your EFC (anticipated kin contribution). that quantity is what's critical to make certain what you're eligible for. The decrease the shape the further you would qualify for.
