Re-apply for financial aid every year in order to receive full consideration for aid. Review all data on the FAFSA every year. If you fill out the Renewal FAFSA, your eligibility may change from year to year, depending on your family's circumstances.
A Renewal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (opens in new window) is a shorter version of the regular FAFSA form and is designed for students who applied for aid the previous year.
