Department of Education releases documents in preparation for 2021-22 FAFSA
September 17, 2020
It's starting to look a lot like FAFSA season.
The Department of Education has released downloadable versions of the 2021-22 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet, and the Student Aid Eligibility Worksheet for Question 23.
In a September 10 Electronic Announcement, the Department said the forms are available in English and Spanish, in Portable Document Format (PDF) and are provided to the community as a resource that can be used as a training tool or for financial aid presentations.
In addition, these documents will also be available on studentaid.gov/resources starting Oct. 1, 2020.
The 2021-22 FAFSA on the Web Worksheet provides a preview of questions that applicants and parents may be asked while completing the FAFSA form at fafsa.gov. It is not the financial aid application, nor is it part of the application. It is simply an optional tool to help applicants complete their FAFSA form online at fafsa.gov and should not be submitted to Federal Student Aid.
The Student Aid Eligibility Worksheet for Question 23 is used to assist applicants with determining eligibility for federal student aid when a conviction has been reported on the FAFSA form for possessing or selling illegal drugs, or when question 23 on the FAFSA form has been left blank.
