The 2017-18 FAFSA Is Available!

Partners,

It’s time for high school seniors and returning college students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The 2017-18 FAFSA is now available! Share this video from Gov. Mary Fallin with the families you serve to help spread the word!

It’s important for students to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible so they can take advantage of all state and federal aid available to them, including grants and scholarships. Some sources of financial aid have earlier deadlines than others.

New this year, applicants will use tax information they’ve likely already filed, and they won’t have to update the FAFSA after they file taxes in the spring. This chart from StartWithFAFSA.org outlines which tax forms families will use to complete the FAFSA this year.

To help you spread the word about the importance of filling out the FAFSA as early as possible, check out all of the resources available at StartWithFAFSA.org and be sure to follow us on Facebook!
