Now is the time for students and parents to create StudentAid.gov accounts to file the FAFSA. 

The 2025–26 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opens Dec. 1, 2024. Filing the form is essential to be eligible for grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans.

Here’s how to be ready: 

1. Create your studentaid.gov account. 

2. If you’re a dependent student, a parent must create an account as well. 

Checklist for Account Creation: 

• Name as it appears on your Social Security Card. 

• Date of birth. 

• Personal email. Use one you will keep long-term as you will use it repeatedly. 

• Social Security Number (SSN) if you have one. If not, see below. 

Need an account for a parent? Check if one is required. If you’re a dependent student, the "Who's My FAFSA Parent" tool can help. 

No SSN? Parents without SSNs will create accounts by selecting “What if I don’t have a Social Security Number?” Do not use an ITIN in place of SSN. This handout may be helpful.
