    FAFSA: The FAFSA stands for the Free Application For Federal Student Aid, emphasis on FREE APPLICATION. Never pay someone to complete this. File the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov as soon after October 1st of the student's senior year.  As of now, the Federal Government does not have a deadline for the Federal Pell Grant.  However, Universities have their own FAFSA deadlines for the "Institutional Grants" they award.  The state of Missouri also has a FAFSA deadline for the Missouri Access Grant.  Be sure to check on both of these deadlines to receive maximum funding. Learn more about the FAFSA
