ASU APPLICATIONS FOR SENIORS
From October 1-12 ASU is waiving application fees. So if your senior is planning on applying to ASU and would like to save about $50, now is the time to apply!
FAFSA is OPEN!
Any senior who is planning on further education next fall - college/university, community college, trade or tech school - should complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Completing this form will ensure your student qualifies for as much financial aid as possible. Some schools and organizations also require that the FAFSA is completed in order to receive scholarship money. The application is now open. To complete this form:
1. The student and one parent each need to create an StudentAid.gov account.
2. After creating an account, you can then start the FAFSA form. You will be completing the FAFSA for 2027-28 (not 2026-27).
Over the last few years, the FAFSA form has been simplified and is pretty easy to complete. Advice for completing it can be found here. The form will draw on two main parts of the student’s and parents’ financial picture - what was submitted on taxes for 2025 (this information is automatically submitted - you don't typically need tax forms handy) and then current balances in checking, savings and non-retirement accounts. Depending on your specific circumstances there may be more or less information you will need to provide.
The FAFSA can be completed at any time, however, each college has its priority deadlines, so check individual schools for dates and be sure to complete it before those deadlines.
