hi everyone. i’m graduating high school in may 2015 and starting college in 2015 as well.
i’m a little confused which FAFSA form i should fill out
the one thats 2014-2015 which is if you’re startinc college Between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015
or 2015-2016 which is if you’re starting college between Between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016
i’m just starting the normal time all colleges and 2015 graduating seniors start. so would it be the 2015-2016 one?
thank u!
Yes, you will need to complete the 2015-2016 FAFSA. The 14-15 FAFSA is for students enrolled in college right now.
If you planning to attend college in the Fall of 2015 (after 7/1/15), you would file 2015-2016 FAFSA using your parents’ 2014 tax information.
Just realize that the school year is different than the tax year. So it sounds like your school normal school year starts in fall 2015. So that is why you file for the 2015 -2016 year. You file the FAFSA 2015 using tax information from the previous year, 2014.
HI, I’m trying to find a 2015 2016 printable FAFSA form. All I can find is last year’s and I hear there are changes. Has anyone found the new one? Thank you.
