How to Change Something on Your FAFSA Application

Filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is an annual experience for many college students. If you find that you submitted incorrect information or you need to change something on your FAFSA, you can make revisions online, even if you didn't file your application online. The FAFSA website allows you to access your application and make changes if necessary. It's important that your FAFSA is accurate because your application determines how much aid you are eligible to receive.
