College Financial Aid Eligibility
in order to receive federal student financial aid, you must complete high school (or receive an GED), be enrolled in an approved academic program, and other eligibility requirements

Check the Student Aid Report from the Federal Government
your student aid report (SAR) has the expected family contribution to education costs — it is sent to your schools for calculating your eligible student aid

Get Your College Financial Aid Award Letter
the college award letter lists what eligibile student aid that will be awarded you — the total award may or may not cover the full cost of education
