FAFSA has officially opened. All seniors are encouraged to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which is part of the process for securing financial aid at post secondary institutions, including community colleges and trade schools. Completion of the FAFSA is a requirement for the Nevada Promise Scholarship and for many other scholarships as well. Students and families can go to studentaid.gov to get started.Remember that some financial aid is offered on a first come, first served basis, so the sooner students and families complete the FAFSA, the better.
