Toledo Tomorrow, a non-profit organization that assists individuals in completing the FAFSA form, was at the Lima Public Library. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the key to the eligibility for grants and other funding from the college you want to attend. Education specialists say they can't express enough the importance of completing the application.
"The importance of completing your FAFSA if you are planning to go to school is vital. Because without completing your FAFSA, you will not be eligible for any funding from the school that you are applying to.
