Renew Your FAFSA

Key Information

• Complete the FAFSA for each year that you require financial aid.
• The online renewal application is prefilled with answers from your previous FAFSA.
• You need your Federal Student Aid PIN to renew your FAFSA online.

You must complete the FAFSA for each school year that you need aid.

Because financial and family circumstances change from year to year, you must complete a renewal FAFSA application even if you have completed the FAFSA previously.

The online renewal application saves you time by pre-filling answers from your previous application. You only need to enter any information that has changed.
