Seniors and Parents of Seniors: January is the new time to complete the FAFSA!
After January 1, the FAFSA, the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" opens for students to apply for federal student aid. Any graduating senior who is planning to attend college next year should complete the FAFSA as this is a major tool that colleges use to determine a student's financial need and eligibility for federal aid as well as certain financial need-based scholarships. This is not a loan - the grant money you receive from this does not have to be repaid, and it is free to apply. The sooner you fill this out the better. Why? Because if you fill it out sooner, you may be able to get more grants (money) that will help you pay for college. Even if there's the slightest chance you may go to college next year, you need to fill this out.
To fill out the FAFSA, here's what you will need to bring:
Your Social Security number (it’s important that you enter it correctly on the FAFSA form!)
Your parents’ Social Security numbers if you are a dependent student
Your driver’s license number if you have one
Your Alien Registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen
2022 Federal tax information, tax documents, or tax returns, including IRS W-2 information, for you (and your spouse, if you are married), and for your parents if you are a dependent student
Records of your untaxed income, such as child support received, interest income, and veterans noneducation benefits, for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent student
Information on cash; savings and checking account balances; investments, including stocks and bonds and real estate (but not including the home in which you live); and business and farm assets for you and for your parents if you are a dependent student
For more information or for help in completing the FAFSA, contact the Counseling Office at 417-751-9616 or 417-751-9605.
