<p>My older D is a college freshman currently and my younger will be entering college next Fall 2010. Do I have to file 2 FAFSA applications separately or just update the previously submitted one? Thanks.</p>
<p>They each need their own. You can use your same parent PIN on both - each student needs their own PIN. I *think *there is a way of populating student # 2’s FAFSA with the parent details from student # 1’s FAFSA but I heard about it after we had already done both so am not sure how.</p>
<p>The 2010-2011 FAFSA is supposed to be different and simpler, which being the govt probably means it will be more complicated and full of bugs!</p>
<p>Thanks swimcatsmom. Cheers.</p>
<p>Forgot to mention that for the one who has filed a FAFSA in the past you will get the option to populate the new FAFSA with personal info (addresses, etc). As far as I can recall this comes after you enter the name and SSN. Don’t know how the new changes will affect this. To be honest I would as soon they didn’t mess with it until we are done filing FAFSAs (2 more years I think).</p>
