Important Information about the FAFSA
The 2025-26 FAFSA is now open, and getting it done as soon as possible will help ensure you're eligible for the financial aid you need. Here is a quick checklist of what you need to do to prepare:
Step 1: Create Your FSA ID
If you don't have one yet, it's time to create your FSA ID. If you already have one, just log in and double-check that everything works smoothly.
Step 2: Get Your Parent's FSA ID (if you're under 24)
Your parents will need to create their own FSA ID as well. Check this chart to determine which parent(s) and spouse(s) need to create one.
Step 3: Need help?
Book an appointment with your School Counselor or contact Granite Edvance to make sure you have the support you need. Granite Edvance can assist you with any problems you run into while creating or accessing your FSA ID. Just book a FAFSA and Financial Aid Prep session, and they'll walk you through the process.
