The U.S. Department of Education is the Largest Provider of Student Financial Aid in the Country

Each year the U.S. Department of Education awards over $120 billion dollars in federal grants, loans and work-study funding to over 13 million students. Millions of students miss out on aid programs simply because they do not apply for the FAFSA or because they submit incomplete applications. FAFSA is an acronym for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It is the first step in determining eligibility for federal and state aid programs.
