High School Seniors It's FAFSA Time!
Beginning January 1, 2016, you may file the 2016-17 Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
Michigan’s deadline for priority consideration of State aid is March 1, 2016. As a reminder, our office does not know which college a student plans to attend; therefore, State aid awards are based on the first college listed on the FAFSA. Students are also responsible for notifying our office if their college choice changes-this can be done online using the MiSSG Student Portal at www.michigan.gov/ssg or by phone at 1-888-4-GRANTS (888-447-2687).

To complete the FAFSA, you will need:
- Your Social Security Number
- Your Alien Registration Number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
- Your most recent federal income tax returns, W-2s, and other records of money earned. (Note: You may be able to transfer your federal tax return information into your FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.)
- Bank statements and records of investments (if applicable)
- Records of untaxed income (if applicable)
- A FSA ID to sign electronically
*If you are a dependent student, then you will also need most of the above information for your
parent(s).
