Free applications for federal student aid are available

The 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now available for individuals who plan to attend college.

Submitting the FAFSA begins the process in determining eligibility for federal (Pell, student loan, Federal Work-study), state (Tennessee Lottery, Tennessee Promise, Tennessee Reconnect), and other types of aid.
