What is Early FAFSA?

Beginning with the 2017-2018 academic year, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid application (FAFSA) will be available on October 1st of the year prior to the upcoming award year. This means that students can complete their FAFSA earlier now than they could in the past and do not have to wait until January 2nd of the new tax year. Read more about the FAFSA application process.
