FAFSA
The FAFSA is used to determine how much you and your family can afford to pay for college (this is the “EFC” – estimated family contribution). Colleges use the EFC to determine how much NEED BASED AID or GRANTS you are eligible for.
You can file a FAFSA anytime after January 1. We recommend that you file the FAFSA after you have completed your federal tax return. For priority consideration on need based aid, we also recommend that you file your FAFSA prior to April 1st (of course, sooner is better).
Central's FAFSA code is 001850. You can get a FAFSA form from your high school guidance counselor or complete it on-line at the FAFSA Web site.
