Exactly what coopera said, I have the online chapter textbooks my personal finance class used that covers everything you'll be learning since the curriculum is the same so if you ever want to use it I can always give you the link. Idk if your teacher is using them though, but I know my teacher did, all of our work was in the textbooks so it has everything you'd need to know.

Well it says that Fasfa.gov (because there is no faspa.gov or the link isn't working properly) "The FAFSA is an application that the federal government uses to gather the financial information it needs to assess what loans and grants you qualify for. Although you are applying for federal aid, the process is coordinated through the school or schools you plan to apply to." This basically means that it gathers financial info to see what you can qualify for. Like schools/colleges etc. Jobs and more. The history behind fasfa or FASFA that I found using articles is: "Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson signed into law the Higher Education Act of 1965 and established the US federal government as the primary provider of financial aid. Title IV of the Act established the Educational Opportunity Grant (EOG) Program, which allocated funds directly to colleges."
