FAFSA

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and it is the form that high-school seniors and college students need to fill out to get any financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college. In addition, colleges and universities use this form to determine if the students are eligible for institutional grants and scholarships.

UnidosNow is a partner of REACH Manatee and PLANit Sarasota, the two Local College Access Networks (LCANs) in the region. As members of the FAFSA Committees of both LCANs, we participate actively in the planning and delivery of FAFSA workshops to assist students and their parents in completing the FAFSA. We also provide bilingual one-on-one consultations and training sessions for volunteers.
