High school seniors and college students needing student financial aid for fall 20-23 can file the 2023–24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, beginning Oct.1st. Rules governing student aid programs
sometimes change, and students who don’t file the FAFSA may miss out on free money that could help pay for their education. Some student aid programs have limited funds and provide awards on a first-come,
first-served basis, so students and families should submit the FAFSA as soon as possible.
