The 2024-2025 FAFSA application may not open until December but there is one thing students and parents can do right now to prepare - create an FSA-ID. The FSA-ID is your electronic signature for all things dealing with Federal Student Aid. Whether it is completing the FAFSA or completing your master promissory note if borrowing student loans, your electronic signature is needed. Students and parents must create their own FSA-ID using separate email addresses and phone numbers. By creating your FSA-ID, this means as soon as the FAFSA opens in December, you can begin the application. If you wait to create your FSA-ID on the day the FAFSA becomes available, it will not go through because upon creating your FSA-iD, your information will need to be verified which can take up to 2-3 business days. You can create your FSA-ID now via this link, https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch.
