19 million students apply to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year. The application which helps a large portion of undergraduate and graduate students fund their education has famously become known as a first come first serve basis when it comes to the amount of funding each student receives.
COVID-19 has made a lot of funding unreliable, and there is no better time to submit the application than on opening day. The application will be available starting Oct. 1, 2020 and will close on June 30, 2021. For more information on how to submit the application, please visit the FAFSA website.
