Anyone needing financial aid to make their college education dream come true needs parents to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as FAFSA. It’s the key to federal student financial aid (Pell Grants) and it’s also used to determine eligibility for Ohio College Opportunity Grants (OCOG) as well as grants from private colleges and universities. Completing FAFSA is a critical first step for students seeking help in funding their post-secondary education and training, not only for traditional college degrees but also for certificates and credentials.
