To qualify for the maximum amount of federal financial aid each year,
including loans, students must complete and submit the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the U.S. Department of Education
annually. Submitting this vital financial aid form determines your
eligibility for federal financial aid as well as scholarships, grants,
and other aid opportunities. While not required, it is strongly
recommended that all college-bound students complete one.

Submitting this document has only resulted in Stafford loan offers worth
less than 10 percent of the total cost of attending college.
Why bother ?

As the saying goes, "Your mileage may differ."

Depending upon the family finances, the college's finances, the quality
of the student, and the cost of the school, need-based financial aid
could range from nothing to 100% of the cost of attendance. I've seen
both, and plenty in the middle.

You also have to complete the FAFSA form to qualify for other types of
federal aid, including the Pell Grant, Perkins Loans, etc. Your other
options are to apply for scholarship, try:

http://www.StudentScholarshipSearch.com

or private student loans, try:

http://www.AlternativeStudentLoan.com

Finally - Graduate Students can borrow up to $18,500 each year - so it
is a better options for them.
