2026–27 FAFSA® Form Now Available

The 2026–27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is now available to everyone. For priority consideration, submit your application by Jan. 15, 2026. Private and two-year institutions may have different deadlines. Check with the financial aid office at the college or career school you plan to attend.

Start a 2026–27 FAFSA® Form

FAFSA forms submitted online will typically be processed in one to three days. Once your form is processed, you’ll be able to review your FAFSA Submission Summary, and your FAFSA information will be made available to your selected schools. You also can make updates or corrections (such as adding a school or a missing signature) to your FAFSA form.

Prepare to Fill Out the 2026–27 FAFSA® Form

Here are some ways you can get ready to fill out your FAFSA form:

Create a StudentAid.gov account (if you don’t already have one).
Learn about the documents you may need to fill out the FAFSA form.
Determine your dependency status and whether your parent(s) or spouse will be required to contribute information on your FAFSA form.
If you’re a dependent student, use the Who’s My FAFSA Parent? wizard to identify which parent(s) will be a required contributor on your form.
