What is the Deadline for FAFSA?
The FAFSA deadline is the same every year: June 30. However, the federal government and many states award financial aid on a first come, first-serve basis, so it’s wise to submit the form as soon as possible after October 1.
Most states have their own FAFSA deadline. They either fall during the late winter/early spring months, or students are instructed to simply complete the form as soon as possible. Colleges and universities may also have their own FAFSA deadline. If you hope to qualify for state or institutional financial aid, you need to have your FAFSA submitted by these deadlines, rather than the June 30 federal deadline. Finally, colleges and universities may have their own financial aid form that supplements the FAFSA. These supplemental forms may provide a clearer picture of your financial circumstances and will greatly assist the college in creating an aid package for you.
