Colleges and career schools use the FAFSA form to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans. You must apply for aid every year, but with the right information in hand, it's easy.

I dropped a class—why didn’t I get a refund?

You must drop the course before 11:59 p.m. on the last day of registration. Dropping after that means you’re in the withdrawal period, and standard refunds don’t apply.
