Applying for Federal Direct Loans begins with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The only official site to complete the FAFSA is fafsa.gov (if you go to a site that charges a fee or asks for credit card information, you have gone to an incorrect site). The FAFSA must be completed every year, beginning October 1 for the following Fall semester.
Brock University’s Federal School code is G09252
