What You Can Do Now
Students and families can prepare for the upcoming FAFSA by familiarizing themselves with the FAFSA process:
- Check out "Who's the Parent" Tool to help determine which parent should contribute their information to the FAFSA
- Set up your FSA ID: There is now a real-time match with the Social Security Administration, applicants who have a Social Security number can create their FSA ID and complete their FAFSA on the same day instead of waiting three days.
- Review the Tips for Completing the FAFSA Accurately
- Check Out the Federal Student Aid YouTube Channel: Updated videos to help students and families understand the importance of the FAFSA form, who is a FAFSA contributor, and what happens after submitting the form.
Starting with the 2026-27 year, Pennsylvania students enrolled a Pennsylvania public and non-public schools must file the FAFSA before completing high school. Pennsylvania's state deadline is May 1 for PHEAA's programs - so by filing in time for Temple's February 1 deadline, you file in time for PHEAA!
