FAFSA* The FAFSA may be filed at any time during an award year.* An award year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the following year.* The FAFSA may be filed electronically or

dependent student’s FAFSA.* An electronic signature is not required for signing the FAFSA but it speeds processing of the application.* The PIN may be used by students and
parents throughout the FAFSA process including subsequent school years.
