Important deadlines are in February and March for Idaho Seniors for both FAFSA and the College Board Financial Profile. Do check with your school of interest about THEIR deadlines for scholarship applications and financial aid submission deadlines.

TIP: You do not NEED to have your previous year's taxes filed prior to completing a FAFSA or College Board Financial Profile, so don't wait. You will provide estimates and then update the application once taxes have been filed.

• COMPREHENSIVE resource for Financial Aid at the U.S. Dept. of Educations Federal Student Aid Website
• Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) - https://fafsa.ed.gov/
  Most counselors encourage Students & Families complete a FAFSA application even if they don't think they'll qualify or won't need the assistance. FAFSA applications are now available in OCTOBER of the year PRIOR to the year your senior will graduate, and the deadline is usually mid March. If you Google "FAFSA" you may find 3rd Party websites that appear to be FAFSA applications sites, but will actually charge you a fee to apply. Be sure to use the http://FAFSA.ed.gov website.
• College Board Financial Aid Profile, aka "CSS Profile"
  The CSS Profile is another online application and is connected with your student's College Board account.
