The FAFSA (Free Application for 
Federal Student Aid) for seniors applying to college for next fall is now open. As you may know, this year the opening day to fill out the FAFSA was moved up to October 1st compared to the previous yearly opening date of January 1st. To learn more about the “Early FAFSA,” check out our previous post “New Financial Aid Application Process (‘PPY’ or ‘Prior-Prior Year’ Tax Information)” on the Nav.
“Thanks to long-overdue reforms, college applicants can find out earlier, often while they’re still comparing options, whether they qualify for federal aid.”
