FAFSA: The Sooner the Better

Laptop screen with fafsa concept

If your child will attend college in the fall, now is the time to get started with the process 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

  • Parent and student federal tax returns

  • 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.
