Is FAFSA only for C.A or is it there for every state? I heard some one say its only for people who live in?

Question

California!

Answer 1

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is available in every state. By completing it, an EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is generated. Schools use the EFC in conjunction with the COA (Cost of Attendance) to determine a student's financial aid package.

Several states have programs that are linked to what your eligibility is based on the FAFSA, so require the FAFSA to be completed in order to be considered for a state grant. Here is more information regarding Calgrants: http://www.calgrants.org/index.cfm?navId=22

If you know what school you want to attend in CA, go ahead and contact a financial aid officer there for more information. Good luck!

Answer 2

No, those people are wrong about the FAFSA form being good in California only, because the FAFSA form is good in every state since it is a federal program. However, the Calgrant is the program tied to the state of California. I will include some free resources to locate college tuition money.

First, current high school students can locate local scholarships at their high school guidance office. These are the easiest to obtain compared to national ones.

Second, the local public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Third, most college financial aid offices and website has a list of college scholarships that people can apply for consideration. Sometimes a college major will list them too on their website.

Finally, join several free membership scholarship search engines. You enter a profile, and it will search for scholarships matching your profile. There is a scholarship for almost anything out there including wearing duct tape to the prom and now even Halloween.

Good luck!

Answer 3
