What is FAFSA anyway?
- -FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid
- This application becomes available January 1st of every year.
- – Please remember that you do not have to wait until your taxes or parent’s taxes are complete, you can use estimates to complete your FAFSA. After you/your parents file their taxes you can go back and make changes to make your FAFSA more accurate.
- – The sooner you apply the more grant aid available for you.
- – If you wait too long, you may miss the state aid. Most states require the FAFSA to be submitted by March 1, and some even sooner.
