<li><p>The 2010-2011 FAFSA for the 2010-2011 FAFSA is not available until January 1st. The current one available is for the 2009-2010 school year, the current school year. Completing 2009-2010 FAFSA does **not *count as having applied for aid for 2010-2011 and it does not mean you have met any deadlines your school has for 2010-2011 financial aid.</p></li>
<li><p>FAFSA stands for **FREE* application for federal student aid. If you find yourself on a web site that asks for payment for filing FAFSA you are at a commercial site. The correct site is a ed.gov site, not a .com site.
The correct site is FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid</p></li>
