FAFSA is the Free Application For Student Aid. This online form can be submitted October 1st of your student's senior year. Even if you do not qualify for federal aid for college, many scholarships require this form to be submitted in order to verify the parents income. You and your student will be required to open an account in order to complete this form. It is highly recommended that you consider taking the time to submit this form.
Midland College provides a free workshop to help with the FAFSA form regardless of where your student wants to attend college. Email: welcome@midland.edu for more information.
Online applications are open to seniors starting January of their senior year, and the deadline is usually the last day of March of their senior year. For a complete detailed listing of scholarships, please refer to their website.
