Yes, you can use FAFSA money, such as federal student loans or Pell Grants, to purchase or rent a laptop if it is necessary for your education. However, it's important to note that you should use this money responsibly for educational expenses. Make sure to keep receipts and records of the purchase, as you may need to provide documentation to your school or loan servicer. You can save money by taking advantage of programs like the Dell student discount. Always consult with your financial aid office or a financial advisor if you have questions about using FAFSA funds for specific purchases.
