FAFSA Online

Applying for financial aid is easy when you start by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We strongly encourage everyone, regardless of annual income, to complete the FAFSA. This will determine your eligibility for federal programs (Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, Federal Work Study, etc.) as well as Averett's need-based award packages.

  • At FAFSA's secure website, applying is easy and processing is generally 7-14 days faster than applying by mail.
  • Simply visit FAFSA on the web at www.FAFSA.ed.gov or call 1-800-801-0576.
  • Averett's school code is 003702
