Can I use FinAid for Colleges Out of State

<p>Hi. This may seem like a stupid question but I wasn't sure of the answer. I live in Pennsylvania and I just submitted the FAFSA. When I get my results, will I be able to use the money I get towards a college that is out of state, in California, for example? Thanks.</p>

<p>the fafsa doesn't give you money. If you get federal aid (pell or other grants, stafford loans) it can be used in any state.</p>

<p>The financial aid is awarded to you by the school. All FAFSA does is tell them what you are eligible for.</p>

<p>Oh okay, my bad. I was just making sure I could use it for OOS colleges. Thanks</p>

<p>You choose the colleges to which you want the FAFSA sent. They can be anywhere in the United States.</p>
