FAFSA Opens
The FAFSA opens October 1 for the following academic year. If you have a college-bound senior, t’s a good idea to submit the application as soon as possible because financial aid is often given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
There are three types of FAFSA deadlines:
- College deadlines: Important when you’re applying for aid from a college. Deadlines vary by school, so check college websites or contact the financial aid offices of the colleges you’re interested in to find out when you need to submit your FAFSA.
- State deadlines: Important when you’re applying for aid from your state. Check your state's FAFAS deadline.
- Federal deadline: June 30 is the last day you can apply for federal aid for the following academic year.
Remember: You should send in your FAFSA as soon as you can, regardless of deadlines. There’s a lot of financial aid out there—give yourself the best shot at getting the most assistance by applying early.
- Your family doesn’t have to have a low income to qualify for assistance. Even if your family makes $200,000 a year, you could be eligible for aid.
- You automatically qualify for a low-interest federal loan when you submit a FAFSA. These loans are less expensive to pay back than many private student loans.
- Many work-study programs require the FAFSA.
- Some merit-based scholarships require the FAFSA to help them determine scholarship amounts.
