What is FAFSA and why is it important to NC Reach students?
NC Reach students need to complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) every year. The FAFSA tells students which federal and state grants they are eligible for, as well as whether they are eligible for work-study. Completing the FAFSA ensures that each student receives the maximum funding possible. NC Reach students need to complete a FAFSA because the amount of funding they can receive from NC Reach is computed based on the amount of other grants and awards the student is receiving.
