FAFSA (FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID)

• https://fafsa.ed.gov/
• The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is the primary form that the federal government,

states and colleges use to award grants, scholarships, work study and student loans.

• The following two FAFSA changes took effect last year:
• 1. The form now becomes available three months earlier than it had previously, in October instead of

January. You can access the FAFSA for the 2019-20 school year on Oct. 1, 2018.

• 2. Families can use their prior-prior year tax information to complete the form instead of the prior

year’s tax information. That means using 2017 tax information to complete the 2019-20 form. This allows families to file the FAFSA before they file their previous year’s taxes.
