Use the official starting point
Go to StudentAid.gov for the correct FAFSA form, current instructions and eligibility information. Do not rely on a deadline from a previous year.
Check all deadlines
Federal, state and college deadlines may differ. Colleges may also require additional aid forms.
Follow the contributor instructions
Use official guidance to understand who needs to provide information. Each person should keep their own account credentials private.
Review and follow up
Check the processed application and respond to requests from colleges. Contact the aid office if your circumstances need explanation.
