Any current seniors wishing to go to college should have already submitted their FAFSA for 2017-18 school year. If you've not done so yet, you need to do this immediately so that you qualify for in-state grants. These grants are going to run out very soon, and it is strictly based on a first come/first serve basis. Just by filing your FAFSA in time means you may qualify for a lot of free money. The cutoff deadline could be tomorrow or it could be in two weeks. It all depends on when the state reaches it's quota of FAFSA applicants.
