Graduating seniors (Class of 2026) will be filling out the 2026-2027 FAFSA Form
This form can be filled out every year that the student is in school
Priority deadline for most schools is March 1st, but a good rule of thumb is to complete this form ASAP
Students that are 2-year and 4-year college bound can fill out this form
Students and parents/guardians both need to have FAFSA accounts
Apply even if you think you will not qualify (some colleges and scholarships require to have one on file)
Use personal (not school) email addresses and Chrome internet browser
Read slowly and answer carefully (information may need to be verified)
Application is not finished until student receives an email saying their FAFSA was submitted
Both student and parent sections need to be completed for the FAFSA to be considered complete
