The 2021-2022 FAFSA is available on October 1, 2020! Institutional funding is limited; it is recommended you fill out your FAFSA by March 1, 2021. Students admitted for the Spring 2022 term should apply before November 1, 2021.
Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and quick, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college.
Be sure to include Arizona's school code (001083) when you submit your FAFSA to avoid delays in the processing of your aid. Review the short video below for more information about the FAFSA.
