Thousands of Dollars in The Trash
Posted by The RTC Family on 10/23/2019There are thousands of dollars waiting for scholars every year. A major key to unlocking free money for a scholar's college education is by completing the FAFSA each year. This form is used by colleges and universities to determine how much free money to award scholars based on the family's financial need.
In 2018, 2.6 billion dollars of free money went unused because graduates from the class of 2018 did not complete a FAFSA form. Even if your scholar is not a senior, it's important for all families to know how completing the FAFSA unlocks thousands of dollars for scholars to claim for their college education.
