fafsa calendar information

Beginning on Oct. 1, 2016, students will be able to fill out the FAFSA for the 2017–18 school year. (In the past, they had to wait until January 1). In addition, applicants will no longer need to estimate income and tax information and will be able to retrieve their data directly from the IRS, right from the first day the FAFSA is available. Students also will have information about their Expected Family Contributions earlier, helping them as they’re going through the college application and selection process. 

Webinars

Financial Aid for Refugees without Parents in the US

October 9, 2024

October 9, 2024 | 2 pm ET

As colleges and universities welcome and enroll refugee students on campus, they are also building campus awareness and policies to support some of the unique challenges they may face. This webinar aims to advance the understanding of higher education practitioners, especially financial aid administrators, as to the circumstances of refugees and therefore how to best support them in completing their financial aid applications. It will especially focus on refugees without parents in the United States and when a dependency override is needed. Campus professionals will share their experiences supporting refugee students, without parents in the U.S., in completing FAFSA, submitting documentation required for a dependency override, and any institutional policies to support refugee students in the process.
