<p>Lately, I've been seeing facebook status updates saying "WOO DONE WITH FAFSA", "FAFSA CONQUERED". (you get the idea) I thought the FAFSA form starts Jan. 1. What might these people be talking about? Help, I'm a little nervous.</p>
<p>Don’t be nervous. You are right. The FAFSA for the 2011-2012 school year is not available until January 1st. If people have completed one then they have probably done the 2010-2011 one, which is for the 2010-2011 school year (the current one) and will not count for next year (and will not count as having met any deadlines).</p>
