The sooner you fill out the FAFSA, the better! The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is one of the most important tools for ensuring you get all the financial aid you deserve. Most schools have their own deadline for when they want the FAFSA submitted (besides the government, most colleges use the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for aid as well) so make sure you check with each school you're applying to, because if you miss the deadline you could miss out on aid!
If you're not familiar with the FAFSA, check it out at www.fafsa.ed.gov . You can even fill out a practice FAFSA to get the hang of it before you submit the real thing.
A word to the wise: Beware of imitators! If you go to fafsa.com they'll try to charge you for help, which kind of defeats the purpose of a FREE Application for Federal Student Aid.
