Complete the 2020-21 FAFSA

The 2020-21 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is open and should be completed at https://fafsa.gov. Make sure you complete it by late December so the results are received by Ohio University's first-priority consideration date of January 15, 2020. You can download the myStudentAid mobile app to complete your FAFSA from your phone. Dependent students should share with your parents that the FAFSA is now available.
