 TITLE: How to Find Scholarships to Pay for College CONTENT: Make Sure You Fill Out Your FAFSA\n---------------------------------\nThe Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) isn't typically required for scholarships awarded by private organizations. But if you want to receive financial aid through your college or university, you'll need to fill out that application.\nThe FAFSA is also required for other forms of federal student aid, such as grants, work-study programs and even student loans. It may also be compulsory if you want access to state-based aid, such as the Cal Grant offered to students living in California.\nAs such, it's critical that you complete the FAFSA each year before the deadline, which is usually the end of June.
