<p>@OHMomof2 Thanks for the heads up! So I cant start my application now so I can submit it on January 1st? </p>

<p>The FAFSA for 2015-2016 will become available for competion and submission on January 1…not sooner.</p>

<p>You can’t start filling it in until Jan 1 but you can certainly get all your info together - tax returns, any child support, assets, stuff like that. Also make sure you get your PIN (and your parent needs one also). You can get the PINs now at <a href=“https://pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/appinstr.jsp”>https://pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/appinstr.jsp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>If you do not know for sure that TTU will be affordable, apply to a certainly affordable safety like PVAMU just in case, unless you are willing to start at a community college and know that 2 years community college plus 2 years UT/TAMU/TTU/etc. is certainly affordable.</p>
