Seniors and parents of Seniors, here are some tips for filling out the FAFSA: • Give yourself some time—It’ll take around an hour to fill out the FAFSA. • Be precise—The best way to avoid delays is to fill out the form right the first time. • Fill it out even if you think you won’t qualify—FAFSA can also help you access non-need-based aid. • Fill it out early—Some schools give out aid on a rolling basis. You can even fill it out before your acceptance letter arrives. •
