Do you have to fill out Financial Aid forms to receive a Athletic Scholarship?

Question

Im just wondering if you need to fill out the FAFSA forms to receive a athletic scholorship? I received a scholarship but never filled out the financial aid forms..do i need to do that?

Answer 1

Scholarships are independent of the FAFSA.  Most of the time Scholarship are funded privately not through the government which is what FAFSA is connected to.

Answer 2

Most schools require it, but not all.  It is to your benefit to fill it out anyway though.  If you qualify for any grants (free) money, your scholarship will pay (hopefully) all your tuition and your grant will  pay for your dorm or if your dorm and meals are covered you get to pocket the cash for books and supplies and transportation.

Just do it!
