Through the U.S. Department of Education- there is an amount of over 150 million dollars available to eligible students who wish to go to college - but many students and their parents are unaware that this money even exists. Federal Student Aid is partnering with Houston ISD to increase awareness about the “Free Application For Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA). On the next Houston 8, we’ll share details and information on the world of FAFSA, the application process, and how you could be receiving federal grant money for higher education.
