question 1 of 20
what is the purpose of the free application for federal student aid (fafsa)?
a. to assess the financial aid needs of a student after secondary school
b. to assess the ability of a student to pay back a loan after secondary school
c. to assess the academic merits of a student after secondary school
d. to assess the job qualifications of a student after secondary school

Explanation:

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is used to determine a student's eligibility for financial aid (like grants, loans, work - study) for post - secondary education by assessing their financial need. Option A says it assesses the financial aid needs of a student after secondary school, which matches the purpose of FAFSA. Option B is about loan repayment ability, which is not what FAFSA does. Option C is about academic merits, and FAFSA is not for assessing academic performance. Option D is about job qualifications, which is irrelevant to FAFSA's purpose.

Answer:

A. To assess the financial aid needs of a student after secondary school
