I’m currently a high school senior and will be attending college in 2015-2016. I know that the most reasonable answer would be to fill out the FASFA 2015-2016, but Binghamton University states “to complete the 2014-15 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)” on their website. I’m confused as to which one to fill out now, and I’m also not sure if other colleges say the same. Does it really matter which FASFA you fill out?
For the 2015-2016 academic year, you complete the 2015-2016 FAFSA.
Yes it matters which one you fill out, thumper is correct and Binghamton does have an error on it’s webpage. It mentions spring admission which would be the 2014-15 fafsa, but for fall 2015 it has to be the 2015-16 fafsa.
