All students pursuing a higher education must complete the FAFSA. It is the gateway for all student financial assistance. The FAFSA is a free application. Do not visit fafsa.com and do not pay for assistance in filling out the FAFSA.
Application opens October 1, in the year prior to the upcoming school year. The Missouri State deadline is February 1 prior to the upcoming academic year. The federal deadline is June 30 of the school year for which you are applying. Many schools assign aid on a first-come, first-served basis so it is best to apply as early as possible.
If you need help completing the FAFSA: Call the FAFSA hotline at 1-800-433-3243 “Live Help” button, speak with your high school guidance counselor, or check local newspapers January through March to see when workshops are being held
for FAFSA assistance.
