FAFSA – Free Application for Federal Student Aid

NEW FOR FAFSA 2024-25 ONLY – The FAFSA will not be available October 1st as usual. Many changes are coming and it will not be available until sometime in December 2023. 

 

The following videos, images, and links will help you apply for and learn more about FAFSA.

STEP 1 - Create an FSA ID (Both the student AND BOTH parents/guardians MUST have this to fill out and submit a FAFSA. If the parent/guardian already has one, he/she does not need to apply for another one.) - https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/sign-in/landing
