The FAFSA opens on October 1 and all seniors are required by the State of Texas to complete the application. The priority deadline to submit the FAFSA is January 15.
Why is it important to complete the FAFSA?
It’s how you get access to financial aid from the government and from your college.
Students who submit the FAFSA get $15,000 per year (on average) in financial aid-- via a combination of grants, work-study, and loans.
Many private/outside/merit scholarships also require the FAFSA.
The state of Texas now requires all graduating seniors to complete the FAFSA as a graduation requirement.
If you choose not to complete the FAFSA (or TASFA), please sign the Opt-Out Waiver (Spanish) and return it to Mrs. Clark.
