Yes, you should also apply for federal financial aid by filling out a FAFSA. Most scholarships at 黑料传送门 require a FAFSA on file unless you are not eligible to apply for federal aid. If awarded a scholarship, that amount will likely only cover a portion of your school expenses, and financial aid can help pay for the rest. You can apply for financial aid while you are waiting for a decision about your scholarship application.聽Here is the聽full information on financial aid.
