- Create an FSA ID (username and password) if you don't already have one.
- Fill out the online application, which typically takes about 30-60 minutes to complete.
- Review and submit the application.
Mailed Submission:
- Download and print a paper FAFSA application from the FAFSA website.
- Fill out the application by hand or using a typewriter.
- Sign and date the application.
- Mail the completed application to:
U.S. Department of Education P.O. Box 7654 Bethesda, MD 20813-7654
Important Notes:
- If you choose to mail your FAFSA, make sure to use a trackable delivery method, such as certified mail, to ensure your application is received by the deadline.
- Mailed applications may take longer to process than online submissions, so plan accordingly.
- Be sure to keep a copy of your application for your records.
Remember to submit your FAFSA as early as possible, as some types of financial aid are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The FAFSA deadline for the 2022-2023 academic year is June 30, 2023.
