Roane State Community College

To apply for federal student aid, you need to complete the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and easier than ever, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school. Anyone contributing information to the FAFSA will need an FSA ID. A FAFSA cannot be completed without one. You will only have to create your FSA ID once, as the same one will be used for future FAFSA completion.
