FAFSA/CASFA

FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid

What is FAFSA and why is it important?

CASFA - Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (Undocumented Students)

Allows state aid to be awarded to students who do not have lawful immigration status. Students who are eligible to complete the FAFSA should not complete the CAFSA. 

CASFA is a safe, easy way to apply for state financial aid if you are a Colorado ASSET (Advancing Students for a Stronger Tomorrow) student. Non-U.S. citizens and those that are not permanent residents of the U.S. can use the CASFA to apply for institutional aid.
