Review Deadlines
Pay attention to the deadlines! There are federal and state deadlines, and your colleges may also have a deadline.
The following deadline is for the 2025-26 school year.
The FAFSA application is scheduled to become available to everyone on Dec. 1, 2024, and must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 30, 2026. State deadlines may be earlier than the federal deadline and do not replace filling out the FAFSA.
