Every year you are enrolled in school, you will have to resubmit the FAFSA to remain eligible for financial aid.
The FAFSA will open on October 1st of each year and remain open through June 30th -- though it is important to reapply as soon as possible.
You will first gather up-to-date financial and tax information, log into fafsa.gov using your FSA ID, review previous information (make sure it is updated), and sign and submit!
The IRS data retrieval tool can be useful for you to add information from prior tax returns directly into the application. This can limit the potential for error!
If in this new year when you are renewing your FAFSA, a special circumstance has come up and you would like to request more financial aid, you can make an appeal. Find more about this possibility in our appeal process guide!
