Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) provides you with access to state and federal aid as well as financial assistance from many colleges. It's a two step process: (1) the student and a parent must obtain a FSA ID at https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch; and (2) fill out the FAFSA form at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. To complete the FAFSA form, you will need your FSA ID Username and Password, 2024 Tax Forms, 2024 W-2 Forms, social security numbers, and records of untaxed income and assets, if applicable. Be sure to file your FAFSA by the February 2, 2026, Missouri priority deadline for first-come, first-serve funds. Applications are accepted through April 1, 2026, midnight Central time.
