This is a reminder that students going to college can be completing the FAFSA and AR Scholarship applications now. The FAFSA can be found at fafsa.gov and the state scholarship application can be found at https://sams.adhe.edu/. The state application includes several scholarships and grant opportunities. One of the most familiar is the Lottery Scholarship. The FAFSA is an application students will complete each year they are in college.
