Can i apply for the fafsa now online?

Question

i am going to be a senior in high school this far and right now i was applying for the fafsa but it seem like its for students who are goin to college...help?!

Answer 1

As long as you are going to go to college this fall 2008 or Spring 09or summer of 2009.Then it is good to go ahead and apply now.  If you will have to reapply again next year if you are going next fall 2009.  Wish you the best.  Dont give up on your dreams.   It may take a while to fill it out but it is worth it. Good luck

Answer 2

No, you need to wait until after Jan 1st, 2009 before the application for the 09-10 school year comes out.  If you are curious to get started you COULD do the fafsa 4 caster... this is for juniors to start early.  Look for the link on the bottom left corner of the fafsa website.

Good luck.

Answer 3

If you will not be attending college during fall 2008 or spring 2009, then you should not complete the FAFSA right now.  You should apply after January 1, 2009, and complete the 2009-2010 FAFSA at that time.

Until then you can get a feel for what the application process is like at http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov/

Answer 4

The 2009-10 FAFSA will not be available on line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov until January 1, 2009.  You'll want to fill it out as soon as possible after that date.  Try to get your 2008 federal 1040 tax form filled out first as it will help you in completing the application.
