As you may have heard, the FAFSA will not go live October 1 as planned. The Department of Education has announced that it will be available by or before December 1. But you don’t have to wait to get started! We will have experts and trained volunteers available to help you start the process of applying for financial aid at our College Within Reach Paying for College Fair October 19. You and your student can create your FSA ID and learn how to gather your paperwork so you can complete FAFSA as soon as it becomes available!
In order to complete your FSA ID you will need to have ready your social security number and an email address. If you don’t have a Social Security Number our experts can help you create your FSA without it.
Here’s more information on the steps you can take to be FAFSA ready!
