Why the FAFSA matters
The FAFSA is the key to federal grants, work-study, and student loans, and many colleges and states also use it to award their own scholarships and aid. Finishing it early gives you the best shot at the money that’s available.
What to have ready
To get the most out of the session, please have these on hand before you log on:
2025 tax documents for the student and parent(s), such as tax returns and W-2s
Social Security information for the student and parent(s)
StudentAid.gov account login info for the student and a parent. Both need their own account to sign the FAFSA. If you haven’t made yours yet, you can create one at studentaid.gov ahead of time.
Having everything together means you could leave the session with your FAFSA submitted.
Questions?
