Question: When should I fill out the FAFSA?

Answer: The FAFSA form should be filled out as soon as possible in January of the year you need aid. This form is important because it determines your eligibility for federal, state, local, and college scholarships, grants, and loans. If you turn the form in too late you could miss out on the money you need to finance your education.
