FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid form
FAFSA form for 2024 seniors will open in December of 2023. Financial Aid money is awarded based on merit and/or need and is typically distributed quickly, so the sooner you submit your paperwork, the more likely you are to be awarded a good financial aid package.
Additionally, many universities use your FAFSA information to determine if you qualify for the aid the university is distributing. Check with the universities you are applying to to ensure you are not missing out on the priority deadline.
To complete the FAFSA form, students and parents will need to create an FSA ID at least 3 days before filling out the FAFSA form. Students and parents will need separate usernames, passwords, and email addresses. The links below provide information on how to create the FSA ID. Remember, this must be done BEFORE filling out the FAFSA.
Create your FSA ID here.
This video shows the process for creating your FSA ID.
This document outlines the steps in creating the FSA ID.
