Quick reminder, the 2012 Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid, or FAFSA, will be available January 1, 2012. Students who are hoping to receive federal financial aid for the Fall 2012 semester need to fill out the FAFSA to be eligible.
Filling out the FAFSA will mean you will have to coordinate with parents and guardians to get together tax information. A recent post by the StudentLoanNetwork highlights an IRS retrieval tool that can be helpful to students when filling out the FAFSA. If you will be filling out this form come January 2012, you’ll want to check out this post, and visit FAFSAonline.com to get tips and help with your financial aid applications.
