FAFSA
If you’re preparing for college, one of the first things you should do is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which you can do at FAFSA.gov. The FAFSA is used to award financial aid, grants, and work-study programs. It’s your best shot at accessing “free” money to attend school.
To start the FAFSA process, visit Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

TASFA
The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is a free application that collects information to help determine eligibility for state (or institutional) financial aid programs administered by institutions of higher education in the state of Texas. Students classified as Texas residents who are not eligible to apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA. To review the FAFSA filing requirements, visit studentaid.gov or contact the financial aid office at the institution you plan to attend for the 2024-25 award year. The federal application covers federal and state financial aid opportunities. If you meet the FAFSA filing requirements, then you should submit a completed FAFSA.
