Your Financial Aid Application - FAFSA or TASFA?

The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is a free application that collects information to help determine eligibility for state (or institutional) financial aid programs administered by institutions of higher education in the state of Texas.  

Students classified as Texas residents who are not eligible to apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA. To review the FAFSA filing requirements, visit studentaid.gov or contact the financial aid office at the institution you plan to attend. The federal application covers federal and state financial aid opportunities. If you meet the FAFSA filing requirements, then you should submit a completed FAFSA. DO NOT COMPLETE BOTH THE FAFSA AND TASFA. 

ALERT: The State Financial Aid Priority Deadline was extended to February 15, 2025 for the 2025-2026 application year by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. It is important to complete and submit your application with all required documentation to the financial aid office on or before this date to be considered for the most financial aid possible. Please note that this is only for the specified application year and will revert to January 15 for future years. 

For questions, please contact the college you plan to attend for the 2025-2026 school year so they can provide guidance on the application process.
