25-26 FAFSA for Seniors Preparing for College
As you may know, the 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been launched at FAFSA.gov! As a reminder, TN Promise students are required to submit the 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by 11:59 PM on April 15, 2025 to maintain scholarship eligibility!
Below are a few tips for students to successfully file the FAFSA!
- The application must be completed at FAFSA.gov; students should not use any other websites for completion.
- Students should select the 2025-2026 FAFSA. If the incorrect year’s FAFSA is completed, even by the April 15, 2025 deadline, students will become permanently ineligible for TN Promise.
- The items below are needed to complete the application:
- Student and parent 2023 tax information
- Student and parent will each need a verified FSA ID. If either do not have a verified FSA ID, they will need to create one before completing the 2025-2026 FAFSA. Students and parents will use their FSA IDs to log in and electronically sign the FAFSA each academic year. For a step-by-step guide on how to create an FSA ID, please click here or follow the instructions below!
- Students/parents will need their respective Social Security Number, a valid email address and other personal information to complete the application.
- Visit FAFSA.gov! Then, click Create Account in the upper right-hand corner.
- Select Get Started to begin filling in personal information. It is extremely important that accurate information is entered!
- Once an FSA ID is created, it must be verified by the Social Security Administration (SSA). This process may take up to 7 business days!
- Once student and parent FSA IDs are verified, they are ready to file the 2025-2026 FAFSA!
