The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2025-2026 academic year is now open! Although the deadline for returning students is not until April, we strongly encourage you to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible to ensure the best opportunities for financial aid. To complete the application, you will need the following:
- FSA ID or Your parents’ SSNs if they have SSNs and you’re a dependent student
- 2023 Tax returns
- Records of child support received
- Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
- Net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
Starting the FAFSA process early gives you more time to gather necessary documents and resolve any issues that may arise. It’s always better to submit your application sooner rather than later! If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your attention to this important step in securing financial aid for your student!
