It's bracket season, Cougars! Are you ready for the big games? While you're filling out your brackets, don't forget about another important form, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)! The MVP of your financial aid package, the FAFSA can help you map out your game plan for college. With your FAFSA complete, you can watch the games knowing you're the big winner!

Remember, as you’re moving through each round, tune into your FA Checklist to see if any additional information needs to be completed before final results of your Financial Aid offer are posted.
