Once you’ve found a pathway, the next smart move is starting your FAFSA—the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It may help you unlock money to help pay for your training. It can make a huge difference in what options are affordable. Talk to your parents or guardians soon and ask them to work with you to get started.
Completing the FAFSA early gives you the best chance at grants, scholarships, and financial aid.
