Introduction
There is no cost to apply for financial aid when you file the FAFSA at the Federal Student Aid site.
Question
Is there a cost to apply for financial aid?
Answer
It is free to apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens) or the MN DREAM Act application (undocumented students). Results from your FAFSA or MN DREAM Act application are used to determine your eligibility for grants, student employment, educational loans, and some scholarships.
Avoid using websites or companies ending in .com or .org, or paying individuals to apply for financial aid, which will cost you money and delay processing time. Save your money. Contact the Financial Aid Office if you need assistance or have questions.
