<p>My experience is that about 20% or fewer schools require their own FA form. I presume that your college app. list is shorter than 15 (maybe?) so the best thing is to EYEBALL each website very carefully (ya wonder why this info is sometimes so obscure–another life lesson for applicants?) and perhaps even call each place, if there are not too many to call. It’s worth the trouble to avoid the possible loss of thousands of dollars, IMHO.</p>

<p>Like radimom said, examine their websites and all those envelopes very carefully.</p>

<p>A couple of the schools my son applied to also requested that students fill out the Cal Grant form.</p>
