The FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is an application that can be filled out annually to determine eligibility for federal student financial aid. All eligibility for federal grants and loans will be determined by the United States Department of Education, and are based on need. Federal aid sources provided by the United States Department of Education are referred to as Title IV aid.
The FAFSA needs to be filled out when entering into a new FAFSA year. The FAFSA year runs from July 1st – June 30th. Upon entering a new academic year, if overlapping with these dates, students may be requested to renew their application.
