FAFSA - what is it, when should I apply

FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student aid. This is not a single application but a gateway for several other applications (source wikipedia)


  • the nine federal student-aid programs
  • the 605 state aid programs
  • most of the institutional aid available

Deadlines: It is recommended to apply in January or February of the year the child is attending college. You can start this application as early as you want however you will need to update it as soon as you file your taxes. It is recommended to file your taxes early perhaps in February.
