FAFSA – FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID - 2020/2021
Families may complete the FAFSA, “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” beginning on October 1, 2019. The state deadline is April 15, however the Early Start date will allow families more time to receive and evaluate their financial aid package. In addition, the tax information used for the FAFSA will be for the year 2018, not this previous year’s 2019 information. (Note that this is true for current college students as well – they will use 2018 tax information for the 2020-2021 FAFSA).
Prior to submitting the FAFSA, parents and seniors must have a FAFSA ID. This ID serves as an electronic signature for both student and parent. This can be done anytime at https://fsaid.ed.gov.
To submit the FAFSA, go online to www.fafsa.gov. Remember to select the 2020-2021 FAFSA.
Note: Heritage Hills High School will hold a Financial Aid/FAFSA meeting TBA in early November in the High School Auditorium. Parents and Students are encouraged to attend.
