Oh my. The FASFA. Help!
CHECK OUT MORE ABOUT THE FASFA. CLICK HERE.
Any student, regardless of income, who wants to borrow federal student loans (also known as Stafford or Direct student loans), must fill out FAFSA to get access to these loans. In addition, any parent, regardless of income, who would like to borrow the Parent PLUS Loan must also fill out FAFSA. READ ME: Why Every Student Should Fill Out the FASFA.
"What students may not know is that a large portion of financial aid in the United States is distributed on a rolling basis, meaning the sooner you apply, the better your chances of reviving generous aid."
So, get after that FASFA!
StudentAid.gov is a great place to start. Here. I will link to the page where they discuss the FASFA. There is even a video.
Oklahoma has a FASFA help website as well. StartWithFASFA.org

Is college the right choice for me?
As the price of colleges and universities rise and students take on more and more debt, this becomes an increasingly important question to consider.
Will Mrs. Keester help me?
Yes, of course! Just keep in mind there is only one Mrs. Keester and so so many students. February and August are the months when Mrs. Keester is busiest. Email Mrs. Keester to set up a time to discuss your needs.
