The FAFSA opens October 1, 2019 and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Did you know completing the FAFSA and verification process late could result in the loss of thousands in grant money? Please sign up for a day & time you'd like to come in to receive assistance with completing your 2020/21 FAFSA. New users can sign up for a Federal Student Aid ID now, at fsaid.ed.gov, which is required in order to electronically sign your FAFSA at submission. If selected for verification, notifications will be sent out by December and you can return the required documentation at that time.
