Free Federal Student Aid Application (FAFSA) seeks to detect what financial support the federal government or schools might have for US citizens and those qualifying non-citizens. Although foreign students do not apply to obtain FAFSA federal assistance, the form remains relevant. What is the reason? Any schools will need to decide whether you can get funding from the school or the state in which the school is situated specifically. You cannot send this form online as a foreign student who does not have a US Social Security number but should print a copy and mail it. The quicker you turn it off, the better, so some financial assistance is distributed to the first-come fi. The sooner you send it, the better, because some financial assistance is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
