What financial aid programs can I apply for using the FAFSA form?
A. The FAFSA is used to apply for Federal Pell Grant, Federal Direct Student Loan, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Work-Study and Federal Perkins Loan. Grants are financial aid you do not have to pay back. Work-Study lets you work and earn money to help with expenses. Loans are borrowed money that you must repay with interest. Undergraduates may receive all three types of financial aid. Graduate students may receive loans and Federal Work-Study, but not Federal Pell Grants or FSEOG. FAFSA Express is a free software program that allows you to apply for federal student aid from your home computer. FAFSA Express can be used only on a personal computer equipped with the Windows operating system and a modem. If you wish to apply using FAFSA Express, you can download a copy of the program at www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/express.html. You can also order FAFSA Express on diskette by calling 1-800-801-0576 (TDD 1-800-511-5806). If you would like to apply by mailin
