To determine which FAFSA to file, and when you should file in order to maximize your federal and state aid funds, keep reading.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is used to apply for federal grants and student loans. Many states and schools rely on the information provided in the FAFSA to determine a student’s eligibility for state and institutional school aid, as well.

FAFSA Deadlines

There are three FAFSA deadlines you need to keep in mind. The most important FAFSA deadline will be the one with the earliest date.

  • State Deadline
  • School Deadline
  • Federal Deadline

When Is the FAFSA Due?

The most important FAFSA deadline is the FAFSA deadline which comes first. To be on the safe side, you do want to file the FAFSA as soon as possible. As long as the FAFSA you need to file is open, there is no such thing as filing your FAFSA too early.

Which FAFSA Should You File?

Federal student aid has an award year that runs from July 1 to June 30. The FAFSA has a 21-month application cycle that begins on October 1, nine months before the start of the award year, and ends on June 30, the last day of the award year. Because of the way the application cycle works, there is an overlap of a few months, so you may see a choice between two FAFSA applications when you log in.

Here's how to determine which FAFSA to file:

FAFSA State Deadline, FAFSA School Deadline, FAFSA Federal Deadline 
Sallie Mae student loans offer competitive fixed and variable rates for undergraduates, graduate students and parents. Learn More About Sallie Mae

FAFSA Deadline by State

State FAFSA deadlines may be earlier than the federal deadline. To increase your chances of receiving state aid, in addition to federal aid, it is important to know the deadline for your state of residence. In addition to varying deadlines, some states award aid on a first-come, first-served basis. See the table below.

States may also have their own additional financial aid application forms to complete.

To be on the safe side, file as early as possible!

Please note:

  • The state FAFSA deadlines may have already passed. If so, prepare for next year’s form by adding a reminder to your calendar. Most state deadlines remain similar year after year.
  • State forms do not replace filling out the FAFSA. You must fill out the FAFSA to receive federal student aid.
  • The state deadline to note is that of your state of legal residence.
  • Additional forms may be required. Contact your high school’s counselor, your college’s financial aid administrator or your state agency for more information.
  • Applicants should keep a copy of their submission of the FAFSA as well as any additional state forms.
  • Applicants should obtain a Certificate of Mailing and/or Delivery Confirmation for forms sent by postal mail.
  • Date received means received by the U.S. Department of Education, unless otherwise indicated.

FAFSA Deadline by School

The next deadline to look up is your school’s deadline. The best place to look is on the school’s financial aid page. If you are having trouble finding it, you should give the school a call.

If you’re applying to multiple schools, you will need to look up the deadline for each school. And the most important deadline is the earliest one!

Federal FAFSA Deadline

And finally, the deadline to keep in mind, the federal deadline which is June 30 of the end of the award year. For example, for the 2022-2023 FAFSA the 2022-2023 award year is July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. So the federal deadline for the 2022-2023 FAFSA is June 30, 2023.

The federal deadline for the 2023-2024 FAFSA is June 30, 2024.

If you are confused about which FAFSA you should complete, you should contact your financial aid office.

State Financial Aid Deadlines

The table below is intended to educate students on state deadlines. It is always best to confirm state-related information with your high school counselor, financial aid advisor, or applicable state agency.
