No, you will not get more money for good grades when you file the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is based on your income, your parents income, family savings, and your savings. It also takes into consideration the mortgage payments. The best thing is never to procrastinate in filing for the FAFSA form because it could result in more student loans because of the distribution of grants and scholarships, so it pays to pay attention to the state and school FAFSA deadlines. The money given for grades is called merit scholarships, and it also takes into consideration the SAT or ACT scores. Merit scholarships are often given seperately from the FAFSA forms. I will provide free sources to locate more money to attend college.
First, current high school students can locate local scholarships at the high school guidance office.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, your high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships. However, some of these might be a bit too early for a high school freshman.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!
