Does it cost money to file a FAFSA?

Question

I just filed out all of my FAFSA form and its saying that they need my credit card and i have to pay 75 dollars for the application to be complete is this write.

Answer 1

Sounds like a scam. I never had to give credit card info when I did my FASFA. You need to talk to the financial aid department at your school. (I was also ripped off like $200.00 from a place called All American Grant Resources.) Be careful, when your young and still have good credit, people want to take advantage of you. I was ripped off like 100 times from 18- 23!

Answer 2

You are on the wrong (scam) site.  FAFSA stands for:

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

the website is http://fafsa.ed.gov

Answer 3

h**l TO THA NAWW!  =)  No way, buddy.  It's totally free.  And it's about the only thing totally free you'll ever get concerning school.  DON'T PAY $75.00 TO FILL OUT A FAFSA!!!!  It's not a scam - they really will send it to the FAFSA place for you and you'll get your money... but it's a rip off.  You can EASILY fill it out online totally free.  Here's the website:

Also, remember that the deadline for this year is already passed!!!  And the earlier you apply for next year's FAFSA, the more money you'll get!  Good luck with school!

Answer 4

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, no it doesn't cost money.  Make sure you're on the correct site, http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ .
