Q: What is the deadline for applying for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)?

Q: Do I only need to fill out a FAFSA application to apply for any type of financial aid?

Answer: No. Other types of aid, scholarships, or grants may require a separate application through the specific department or organization providing the aid.
