2025-26 FAFSA Form Coming Soon
The 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form will be available to the public on or before December 1, 2024.
Create or Confirm FSA ID
The student and anyone else required to provide information on the student's FAFSA, such as parents or a spouse, will need an FSA ID to enter, complete and sign the FAFSA form. An FAFSA ID is a username and password combination used to access the U.S. Department of Education online systems. The FSA ID is your legal signature and should not be created or used by anyone other than you. New students can create and returning students (and their parent) can confirm their FSA ID at https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/sign-in/landing. Returning students and parents who are not able to reset their FSA ID online should call the U.S. Department of Education at 1.800.433.3243.
