Big changes for FAFSA this year…

The 2008-2009 FAFSA form will not be distributed in bulk as it has been in previous years.  This means, we will no longer have paper FAFSA forms to distribute.

Students who wish to obtain a FAFSA application at the library will now have two options:

  • FAFSA on the Web (www.fafsa.ed.gov) – This is the preferred method of submitting the FAFSA application.  We will still be able to order the FAFSA on the Web worksheets to distribute.
  • PDF version of FAFSA – Students will be able to download and print out a PDF form at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov beginning November 15th. The form can be mailed in to the address given.

Students may order up to three (3) copies of the paper FAFSA for individual use by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID.  They should receive their copies in the mail in three to seven business days.
