When is the FAFSA due in March?

Hi guys, I've heard there's an important FAFSA deadline in March. Can someone tell me the exact date? I don't want to miss it.

The FAFSA deadline you're referring to in March is likely the federal deadline for submitting the FAFSA for the 2024-2025 school year. The federal deadline is set for June 30, 2025, but various states and colleges have their own deadlines that could fall in March. It is important to submit your FAFSA as early as possible, ideally by March 1st, to maximize your eligibility for state and institutional financial aid.

Make sure to check the specific deadline for your state and the colleges you're applying to, as these can vary. Additionally, some schools and states award aid on a first-come, first-served basis, so the earlier you submit your FAFSA, the better your chances may be to secure more aid. You can access the list of state deadlines on the Federal Student Aid website.

Remember that the FAFSA becomes available on October 1st each year. Completing it as soon as possible allows you to have a better understanding of your financial aid package and make informed decisions regarding college affordability.
