FAFSA: The Sooner the Better

FAFSA The Sooner the Better

If your child will attend college in the fall, now is the time to get started with theprocess of applying for financial aid. The FAFSA — Free Application for Federal Student Aid — becomes available on October 1.


Although the federal filing deadline isn't until June 30, filling out the application early can prevent your child from missing out on aid that's already been awarded. Colleges and states may have their own FAFSA deadlines.


Documents to Gather Before You Start

  • Student and parent Social Security numbers

  • Alien registration number if you're not a U.S. citizen

  • Student's driver's license number

  • Records of any untaxed income, such as child support

  • Checking/savings account balances, investments, real estate (other than your home) and business or farm assets

  • List of schools where the FAFSA should be sent


You can access the FAFSA at studentaid.gov.
