-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first thing you need to do for Financial Aid is complete the FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Aid).  You can do this easily by going online to: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov

Your FAFSA must be received at the college/university of your choice by the deadline it has set.  If you are not having your taxes done before the deadline, don't panic.  Complete the FAFSA in an estimated format and as soon as your taxes are complete, submit a correction to your FAFSA. It is crucial that schools receive your FAFSA by their deadline.  If they do not, most schools will award minimal aid; if any at all.  


If you have any questions, Ms. Patricia Bennett from Northwest Florida State College is the director of Financial Aid and our annual Financial Aid Informational Night speaker at Walton High School. She would be happy to answer any questions that you may have about the FAFSA process. Her contact information is:
