question 4 of 6
when do you need to apply for the free application for federal student aid (fafsa)?
select a response.
the year before college and every year you attend
two years before college and every year you attend
once, after you have been accepted into college
once, after you have completed your first semester

Explanation:

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) needs to be applied for the year before starting college and then every year of attendance because financial aid eligibility is re - evaluated annually based on updated financial information and enrollment status. The option "Two years before college..." is incorrect as the timeline is not that long. Applying "once, after acceptance" or "once, after first semester" is wrong because aid is needed each year and the application is typically done before attending (and renewed yearly).

Answer:

A. The year before college and every year you attend
