Going to College or Career School? Submit the FAFSA to Get Financial Aid

The federal government provides more than $150 billion in grants, loans, and work-study funds to students each year. In order to get that money, you must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly called the FAFSA.

Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and easier than ever, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school. In addition, many states and colleges use your FAFSA data to determine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid.

Parents Bill of Rights (Back to school)

"....As we begin a new school year, the first thing to remember is that you need not be shy when it comes to advocating for your children. It is your right and your responsibility. You know better than anyone that this is your child’s only chance to experience kindergarten or sixth grade or 12^th grade. You want your child to have the best possible experience in that particular grade despite budget woes, logistical problems, or personnel issues. Here’s a Parents’ Bill of Rights to help you be a better advocate for your children in school."

Target's Reading for Books Program

Reading is a critical step on a child's path to graduation. That's why Target is planning to give $500 million by the end of 2015 to support education and help kids learn to read.

Since 1962, Target has committed 5% of its income to support local communities. Through that continued commitment—and a little help from caring adults like you—we can help children reach their full potential.
