$1,000 All Star Verified Scholarship

A letter of recommendation (letter of rec) is a letter written by someone in your life who can speak to your achievements, positive traits, and potential. It's basically a summary of why you're great and deserve the scholarship or funding you're applying for! Typically, students ask teachers, mentors, coaches, or employers (never family or friends). FYI: You have to ask someone to write a letter of rec for you.

You'll need to create an FSA ID (username and password) to login to the FAFSA website and get started.

The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid from the US Government, and it's the most important thing you can do to get money for college! The federal government, your state, and your college all rely on this form—and the EFC (Expected Family Contribution) it calculates—in determining how much aid you're eligible for.
