This page contains links to sites with information about securing financial aid for college. This process can not begin too soon. The sooner you understand how this process works the better your chances for eventually securing financial assistance for your college education.
The first step to gaining financial aid for college is to start the FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Student Aid) process. Your family financial income data including prior year tax returns and/or total household projected income is required. Since tax returns for a prior year cannot be filed until January 1 that is the earliest you can file your FAFSA application. All of your information, however should be completed so that on January 1, one minute after twelve midnight you can submit the application.
