• Timeline for FAFSA Completion

    October 1

    FAFSA application becomes available.

    January 15

    Texas priority deadline - Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first serve basis. The sooner the FAFSA application is complete, the greater the chances for possible aid. Texas college and universities set January 15 as the priority deadline, meaning all financial aid applications should be complete and submitted to the institution by the January date. This may also include any institutional forms and verification the college financial aid office may require. 

    A financial aid timeline and checklist can be used to help ensure the deadlines are met.
