Why Is This Important?
- The FAFSA has changed in recent years, and some of the screens can be confusing — especially for first-time filers. This video walks you through every screen so you can complete it accurately and avoid delays in your aid processing.
How To Use This
- Open the video alongside the FAFSA at studentaid.gov. Use chapter markers to jump to the section you need, and pause as needed. Have your FSA IDs, 2024 tax returns, and financial documents ready before you start.
