The 2025-2026 FAFSA form will open on December 1, 2024.
Seniors, please complete the FAFSA when it opens, to qualify not only for federal financial aid but also for aid from colleges as well as to qualify for some scholarships. The sooner, the better.
Here is a helpful FAFSA walkthrough video and a handy document (Section 4, pages 21 to 64) to help with getting started or answering FAFSA queries:
