Federal Student Aid - FAFSA
Learn About Financial Aid Requirements
Governor Murphy signed a bill that requires the Class of 2025 students to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or N.J. Alternative Financial Aid Application to graduate high school. MCTS will host multiple Financial Aid presentations this fall. The anticipated date for the FAFSA opening is October 1st.
There are several types of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, work-study and federal or private student loans. Families can research the financial aid application requirements and deadlines for the schools of interest to a prospective student. For example, some schools ask for a form called the CSS Profile, or College Scholarship Service Profile, in addition to the FAFSA.
