Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid for the 2025/2026 school year opens on December 1, 2024.

Unaccompanied Homeless Youth: Accessing Additional Aid
Students designated as Unaccompanied Homeless Youth do not need to include parental information and may qualify for additional financial support.
In the first section of this application under Student Unusual Circumstances, FAFSA asks about student homelessness: At any time on or after July 1, 2024, was the student unaccompanied and either (1) homeless or (3) self-supporting and at risk of being homeless.If you meet the definition of an Unaccompanied Homeless Youth, be sure to choose 'Yes' for this question to bypass the need for parental information and indicate a maximal financial aid need.
The financial aid office of your intended university will request a Homeless Determination letter. Our district Mckinney-Vento Liason can provide this documentation, with the support of your school's student advocate.
