December 29, 2008 -- The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is a form that college students and their parents must fill out to determine their eligibility for federal financial aid. This financial aid can be in the form of grants, loans, and also work-study programs. Schools will also often use this to determine if you are financially deserving of any scholarships may be available. The form must be filled out annually in order to determine a student’s eligibility for aid each year. Students must do this annually in order to account for changes in income affecting their eligibility. For example, if a parent gets a pay raise from $50,000 per year to $1,000,000 per year the government will most likely no longer see the family as being financially needy.
