Can I use FAFSA to pay for graduate school?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can use FAFSA to pay for graduate school. Graduate students are eligible to apply for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA determines your eligibility for federal grants, loans, and work-study programs. By completing the FAFSA, you can access various financial aid options such as the Direct Unsubsidized Loan and the Grad PLUS Loan. Additionally, some states and individual schools also use FAFSA information to award institutional aid and scholarships. It is recommended to submit your FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1st to maximize your chances of receiving financial aid for graduate school. Remember to check with your specific school's financial aid office for any additional requirements or deadlines.
