Should I complete a FAFSA or WASFA? WASFA Eligibility Questionnaire


 

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) provides grants, scholarships, loans and work study for post-secondary education. To be considered for federal student aid for the 2025-2026 award year, you can complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) NOW. Awards are made until funds are depleted. Many states and colleges have early deadlines for applying for state and institutional financial aid. Because of the variation in state and college deadlines, it is highly recommended that you fill out the FAFSA as soon as you can after the application opens to ensure that you do not miss out on available aid.

The 2025-26 application is now open.

What do I need to complete the FAFSA?

  • Verified FAFSA account username and password. Create your account.

  • Parent or spouse contributor name, date of birth, Social Security Number, and email address 

  • Income and asset information (if required) 

  • Your parents’ Social Security Numbers (if they have one, and if you're a dependent student) 

  • Family’s 2023 tax returns  

  • Records of child support received (if applicable) 

  • Family’s current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts 

  • Family’s net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
