<p>On Collegeboard, there are two profiles for this, the 08-09 and the 09-10, which do I use?</p>
<p>I just don't know what year I want...</p>
<p>It refers to the school year you are applying for financial aid for. If you are applying for financial aid fo school starting next fall (fall 2009) then you would complete 2009-2010.</p>
<p>2008-2009 is for the current school year.</p>
<p>The FAFSA 2009--2010 will not be available until Jan 2009.</p>
<p>The Profile for 2009-10 will be available around 11/1/08. Some schools ask that you fill it out pretty early (before FAFSA is out). Don't fill it out any earlier than you need to, though - it's best to wait until your 2008 taxes are done, if possible (but not if it makes you miss the financial aid priority deadline). Profile changes can't just be submitted online, so that's why I suggest waiting if it makes sense.</p>
