Join INvestED at BCHS for help with the new FAFSA form! The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is an important form to receive both federal and institutional aid for college. The FAFSA is new this year, so even if you have completed it before, it will be different.
- The FAFSA is REQUIRED for all Indiana seniors and must be completed by April 15, 2024, at the latest.
- Some colleges have earlier deadlines so they can award financial aid sooner.
- The application will be opening in December/late December 2023.
The meeting will be held on Wed., Jan. 24, 2024 from 6-8 p.m. in the BCHS cafeteria.
- How to Create your FSA ID
- FAFSA Checklist — including items you’ll need to complete your FAFSA
- Go to Studentaid.gov to create your FSA ID starting in December/late December
Further Details for the meeting
- Have your FSA ID setup for both student and contributor at least 5 days before the meeting
- Bring a device for you to work on (recommended). An iPad is fine.
- Consult the checklist (link above) for items you’ll need to file the FAFSA.
- For the Class of 2024, you’ll use tax year data from 2022.
