<p>Hey yall!
I had a question about filling put the FAFSA and CSS profile for the class of 2018. Are the documents on the fafsa and css websites the ones for the class of 2018? They are labeled 2013-2014 so i wasnt sure if that meant the applicant year or the year when one begins attending. If they are not the class of 2018 then when will those be up?</p>
<p>The dates for FAFSA and CSS Profile refer to the school year (September of 2013 - May 2014 for the one labeled 2013-14). If you will be in college during that time that is the set of documents you fill out. If you are intending to start in Fall of 2014 then the new FAFSA docs will be up 1 January.</p>
<p>The forms don’t go by your expected graduation year. They go by the school year, you file them each year. The 2013-14 fafsa and CSS are for this current fall semester and spring 2014 semester. If you are planning to start college in fall 2014, you will file the 2014-2015 fafsa which will be available after Jan 1, 2014. The CSS profile for the 2014-15 school year is available now, I believe, for early applicants for fall 2014. Check the websites of each school you are interested in for the school’s deadlines for financial aid forms. For CSS the deadlines will vary depending on whether you are applying ED, EA or RD and will vary by school.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>You will be able to complete the FAFSA for your fresh,an year of college in January of your senior year of high school.</p>
<p>If you want a guestimate of your potential aid, you can use the Net Price Calculators on the college websites. Just keep in mind that anything you do now will be subject to change when you are actually a senior…but it will give you a ballpark!</p>
