Attention seniors who are applying to college.: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is open.
https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
Here are some helpful tips when preparing to file the FAFSA application:
1. Set up a studentaid.gov account: Both the student and a parent (if the student is a dependent) will need to set up a username and password, commonly called the FSAID, to access and sign the FAFSA electronically.
2. Gather Personal Information: Students (and parents, if the student is a dependent, and student spouses—if applicable) will need to provide a Social Security Number (SSN). If a student spouse, parent, or stepparent does not have an SSN, they can still register for an FSAID. Here is a helpful guide. If the student has a driver’s license, they will need to provide that number. Non-citizens should have their Alien Registration Number handy.
3. Federal Tax Information: Students and parents (if dependent) should gather tax information for the prior-prior tax year (for example, for the 2025-26 FAFSA, the student should use 2023 tax returns).
4. Records of Child Support Received: Have information handy on child support received, which is considered untaxed income.
5. Bank Statements and Investment Records: This includes records of the student’s (and the parents', if applicable) bank accounts, stocks, bonds, real estate (not including the family home), and other investments.
6. List of Schools: FAFSA applicants should have a list of schools the student is applying to or attending, as they will need to list these on the FAFSA application.
