FAFSA filing
This year, there have been several updates made to the FAFSA filing process. The biggest change is that the application opened on Oct. 1, rather than Jan. 1, and can be filed by students any time after that date. Additionally, the application for the 2017-2018 school year will be based off of tax information from spring of 2015 so that students don’t have to wait until their parents file to apply.
