It is time for seniors and their families to prepare for the Free Application for Federal Student (FAFSA). Although the 2026-2027 FAFSA won't officially open until October 1, applicants and their parent need an FSA ID before the app opens. Create yours here: https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
(Be sure to VERIFY your phone number and email address. It is very difficult to get in later without doing that.)
Here's a step by step video explaining how to create the FSA ID: https://youtu.be/iTb7hMVtzco?feature=shared
FAFSA is dependent on your taxes from 2024 (filed spring 2025). Students who filed and their parents may need access to their tax documents and their current asset information to complete the online form in October
More details on how to apply for FAFSA (a graduation requirement in Texas, so so eligible seniors must file) and CSS Profile (for those who need it) will come to seniors in the next few weeks. If you need help completing it, reach out to brandi.couch@lubbockisd.org.
