Important Message for Seniors/Parents on FAFSA

Posted January 10th, 2014

All colleges require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application for the 2014-15 academic year is now available here.

Please check each college to which you have applied (or still plan on applying to) for its financial aid deadlines and complete this application prior to the due date. In order to be considered for merit money, most colleges require the student to complete the FAFSA (and CSS Profile, if needed) even if you do not think you will qualify for any need-based aid.

If you need assistance in completing the FAFSA, College Goal Sunday is an event where financial aid experts from New Jersey Colleges and Universities, the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority and many other groups volunteer their time to provide one-on-one free assistance to students and their families in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA will be presented during concurrent programs in English and Spanish; volunteer financial aid experts will work one-on-one with students and families to help them complete the FAFSA.
