Introducing StartWithFAFSA.org, UCanGo2’s newest FAFSA resource

As you know, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an important step for students on the path to college. Completing the FAFSA is essential for obtaining federal and some state financial aid, including grants, scholarships, work-study programs and federal student loans. To help students and parents understand the application process, UCanGo2 is pleased to introduce our latest resource, StartWithFAFSA.org.

While exploring this interactive site, students and parents can sort information about specific FAFSA topics, ask questions, watch FAFSA video tutorials in English or Spanish and download publications. New topics and answers to important questions will be uploaded weekly. For example, did you know that it's important for high school seniors and renewing college students to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1? Learn why and find answers to similar questions at StartWithFAFSA.org.

FAFSA completion doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. Knowing the steps to take and how to prepare for each step can simplify the process. Share StartWithFAFSA.org with the students and parents you serve today to help them get started!
