2. Complete Your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

To apply for federal student aid, complete the FAFSA form. The FAFSA is a free application that gives you access to financial aid to help pay for college. The 2025-2026 FAFSA will be available in December 2024.

To ensure timely processing of your FAFSA, it is recommended you fill out your FAFSA form by April 1, 2025. Students admitted for the Spring 2026 term should apply before November 1, 2025.

When completing your FAFSA, be sure to include Arizona's school code (001083) to avoid delays in the processing of your aid. Remember, you need to complete a FAFSA form each year!

Expert FAFSA help is available for Arizona high school seniors through Arizona FAFSA Assistance.
