The FAFSA is used to apply for need-based aid (grants, loans, work-study) if you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.  It allows us to determine if you qualify for aid from the College, federal government and your state.

If the amount you pay for college will be a factor in deciding where you enroll, we recommend that you complete the FAFSA even if you do not think you will qualify, and even if you have not yet been admitted. 

 

General Notes about the 2012-2013 FAFSA:

1. The web address is www.fafsa.gov.
2. Our Federal School Code is 001706.
3. The FAFSA is not required if you are applying only for scholarships.
4. Complete the application as early as possible (see our priority deadlines on the right), even if you have not completed your tax return and even if you have not yet been admitted.  Applications will be accepted after the priority deadlines, but your aid may be affected.
5. See “Our Recommendations” for tips and other important details.
6. After your application is processed, make any necessary corrections, and promptly respond to any issues noted by the federal processor or the Office of Financial Aid.

 

In addition to the FAFSA, new students seeking need-based aid are to complete the LFAFA (Lake Forest Application for Financial Aid).
