It’s great that you’re looking into your financial aid packages! The financial aid you receive from colleges typically includes funds from various sources, and that often does include federal aid from FAFSA. However, the specific breakdown can vary by institution.
To check the aid you’re receiving from FAFSA:
Review your financial aid package: Look for any mentions of federal grants (like Pell Grants), federal loans, and work-study opportunities. These are generally sourced from your FAFSA submission.
Visit the FAFSA website: Log in to your FAFSA account at studentaid.gov. You can view the information you submitted and see your eligibility for federal aid.
Contact your college’s financial aid office: If you’re still unsure about what is included in your financial aid package, the financial aid office can provide clarity on which amounts are tied to your FAFSA and which are from other sources.
Compare your awards: If you’ve received packages from multiple colleges, compare them. Different schools may offer different amounts of aid based on your FAFSA and their own funding.
