About FAFSA
A common misconception about the FAFSA is that there is an income limit for financial aid. In reality, every student considering or planning to attend college should complete the FAFSA.
The application typically takes 30 minutes to one hour to complete. Families can prepare by gathering Social Security numbers, tax returns, and financial records in advance.
The FAFSA application window for the Class of 2026 opens on December 1, 2024, and closes on April 15, 2025.
