Completing a FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid

Q: I haven’t filled out a FAFSA® form for the 2020–21 year because I didn’t think I needed financial aid. Now I’m unemployed because my company closed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Is it too late to fill out a FAFSA form?

​

A: No. The 2020–21 FAFSA form is available at fafsa.gov. It’s possible that you’ve missed deadlines for aid from your state or school, but the federal FAFSA deadline for 2020–21 is June 30, 2021.
