Overview

  • The 2020-2021 version of FAFSA on the Web will be

available for applicants to use on October 1, 2019.

  • Students and parents should complete the FAFSA

together.

  • You can use your 2018 Federal Income Tax information.
  • It is recommended that you use the Data Retrieval Tool to

import the 2018 tax information directly onto the FAFSA.

  • Do not use a service promising that you will be eligible for

aid with their assistance and a fee. The FAFSA is FREE!!

  • Submit as early as possible to ensure your school(s)

receive it by their priority deadline (check with each school for their deadlines).
