In the meantime, you can prepare by doing the following:

1.) Get a pin! It makes everything go faster. You can sign electronically and get things going (rather than mailing everything in). Visit: www.pin.ed.gov

2.) Get a copy of your parent’s tax info so that you can begin filling out their portion of the FAFSA. Here are some worksheets to help you if they haven’t filed their taxes yet: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/before012.htm

When you have these things ready, visit: fafsa.ed.gov to begin filling out your FAFSA! You can work on parts of it and keep saving.

After filling out your FAFSA you’ll receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) within three weeks. Carefully review all of the information on the SAR to make sure it is correct. Follow directions for making and submitting corrections promptly. If you do not receive a SAR within three weeks, or if you have questions about your SAR, refer to the Customer Service page.
