The 2023-2024 FAFSA® deadlines parents need to know. FAFSA applications started on October 1, 2022. It’s important for students to submit their applications for financial aid as soon as possible.
The sooner you file your FAFSA the better your chances of maximizing your financial aid.
Important FAFSA Dates to Add to Your Calendar
There are three key dates students should circle in their calendars every year: October 1st, June 30th, and September 10th. If you have any questions about school-specific deadlines, you should talk to your financial aid administrator.

College FAFSA Deadlines
Each college may have its own deadline. Check with the college(s) you’re interested in attending so you can be sure not to miss their deadlines.
You may also want to ask your college about its definition of an application deadline. For instance, the dates your FAFSA is submitted, processed, and received by the college can differ greatly. So having this information will help you get your application submitted on time.
