How To Prepare for the 2027–28 FAFSA® Form

Prepare now so you can complete the 2027–28 FAFSA form as soon as it’s available. Here are some ways you can get ready:

• Create a StudentAid.gov account (if you don’t already have one).

• Learn about the documents you may need to fill out the FAFSA form.

• Determine your dependency status and whether your parent(s) or spouse will be required to contribute information to your FAFSA form.

• If you’re a dependent student, use the Who’s My FAFSA Parent? wizard to identify which parent(s) will be required to add information to your form. Also, make sure they know that you can’t qualify for federal aid without their participation and that doing so doesn’t make them responsible for paying for your school costs.
