Online: Get FAFSA Help

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the primary form used by federal, state, and financial assistance programs to determine your eligibility for grants, loans, federal work-study, and scholarships. You have to fill out a new FAFSA every year. Complete your FAFSA as soon as possible, as funding can be limited. If you do not fill out the FAFSA, you risk losing out on money that you might be eligible for.

Let a financial aid expert from the Central Piedmont Financial Aid office guide you through the process at a FAFSA Workshop

Before coming to your workshop, create your FSA ID.

FAFSA Simplification Act and Changes to the 2024-25 FAFSA

FAFSA is changing for the 2024-25 academic year. The good news is that the FAFSA itself will be simplified. The application will be pared down from 108 questions to just 36, and is planned to open December 2023, instead of October as in past years.
