This year, students will be able to file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starting October 1, 2016 rather than in January 2017. In addition, tax information from the 2015 tax year can be used to complete the FAFSA, meaning students will no longer need to wait for new tax information before filing.
The FAFSA is required for any students who wish to receive federal aid for college, including grants and federal loans. Many schools also require the FAFSA to determine whether a student qualifies for school financial aid. Any student attending college should plan to file the FAFSA every year.
