This isn’t your mom’s FAFSA form. 😎
No more time-consuming forms and waiting days for results. Most students can now complete their FAFSA form and receive their results, such as Pell Grant eligibility, in as little as 15 minutes.
ALT Real-time results just launched for the FAFSA form! What does this mean? Most students can now create a StudentAid.gov account, complete the FAFSA form, and receive their Federal Pell Grant eligibility and confirmed Student Aid Index (SAI) in as little as 15 minutes!
