For students planning on attending college in the fall of 2017, the first date that you may submit a FAFSA application is now October 1, 2016.

FSA ID - You can do this NOW!!

The FSA ID—the username and password a student needs for signing the FAFSA and for various other uses on Federal Student Aid websites—replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN in May 2015. Ask students to visit StudentAid.gov/fsaid to learn about and create an FSA ID. Parents will aslo have to apply for a FSA ID.
