The 2025-2026 FAFSA will be open on December 1, 2024. This is an important date for all Oklahoma high school seniors. The class of 2024-25 will be the first seniors required to complete a FAFSA for public high school graduation.
Because we want as many Oklahoma seniors to get Federal and state aid for postsecondary education, we have updated several publications that will help students and parents trying to complete their FAFSA when the time comes.
Finish the FAFSA in Five Steps, also available in Spanish, breaks the FAFSA process into five simple steps and includes information about the materials needed to complete the form, tools available through online submission and more. It also provides information about additional financial aid resources and includes FAFSA Facts, which offers students and parents must-know facts about the FAFSA including useful terms, when to apply and how to get the most assistance throughout the process.
The Who Needs a StudentAid.gov Account? flowchart allows dependent students to determine if one or both parents must create a StudentAid.gov account before starting the 2025-26 FAFSA.
StudentAid.gov Account Worksheet, also available in Spanish, will guide you through the StudentAid.gov account creation process. StudentAid.gov accounts are required for students to access and electronically sign the FAFSA. At least one parent of a dependent student will also need to create an account. Use our worksheet to keep track of the information you supply in order to set up your account. Keep this document in a safe place.
Items Needed to Complete a FAFSA gives parents and students a clear idea of how to better prepare to fill out the FAFSA and the materials necessary to complete the form.
