when to sign up for fafsa?

My daughter is graduating in the Fall of 2020? When should we start the application process for the FAFSA?

I meant to say that she is graduating the the Spring of 2020!

The FAFSA for academic year 2020-2021 will be available on October 1, 2019. That’s the earliest that you can start the official application process, but when the form should actually be completed and submitted depends on a variety of factors that are unique to every student and family.

^ And unique to the school. Each school will have a timeline when it needs to be filled out (particularly if your D applies for early admission anywhere).

You will use 2018 tax information
