联邦学生援助免费申请(FAFSA)是联邦学生经济援助的申请. The results of the FAFSA determine your eligibility for federal grants, such as the Pell and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, and loans. Through filing the FAFSA each year, a Student Aid Index (SAI) will be determined. This index is an indicator of your financial need. In addition to determining how much federal aid you qualify for, 提交FAFSA可以帮助你有资格获得机构援助、奖学金和其他来源的助学金. At PBA, 你的FAFSA成绩将用于确定你是否有资格获得PBA助学金，以及一些奖学金和助学金.
