The FCPS searchable scholarship resource database can now be accessed through your Famiy Connection account. 

Simply the best financial aid site anywhere is finaid.org.  On this site you can find links to information on all types of financial aid programs.

You can file your FAFSA online at this web site. Seniors in the class of 2009 should file a FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1, 2009, but not before.   Don't forget that you will need to file a FAFSA for every year that you attend college.

Get an estimate of your Expected Family Contribution using this Financial Aid Calculator.

Some colleges require a CSS Profile in addition to the FAFSA.  Click here to find out if you need to file one and/or to file online.

Free scholarship searches are available at many sites.  One of the best is fastweb, which sends periodic updates to your home email account.
