Changes now give the parents of prospective and current college students more time to file the information for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA (Faff-suh). Iowa College Aid spokesperson, Elizabeth Sedrel

 

The filing window opened at the start of this month and Sedrel says you should get it done as soon as you can.

 

In the past you had to wait to file FAFSA until January 1st, and you needed current tax information

Some students may think their parents make too much money for them to qualify for any aid.  Sedrel says that shouldn’t keep them from filing.
