Subject: 2017-2018 Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA on the Web Worksheet, and the Student Aid Eligibility Worksheet for Question 23
The final versions of the 2017-2018 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®), 2017-2018 FAFSA on the Web Worksheet, and 2017-2018 Student Aid Eligibility Worksheet for Question 23 are now available in English and Spanish, in Portable Document Format (PDF).
The sample PDF versions of the FAFSA are provided to the community as a resource that can be used as a training tool or for financial aid presentations. These versions contain a “DO NOT SUBMIT” watermark and should not be submitted by students for processing. Students should use the final, official PDF versions available after October 1, 2016 on the FAFSA Web site for submission to Federal Student Aid.
The 2017-2018 FAFSA on the Web Worksheet provides a preview of questions that students and parents may be asked while completing the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. It is not the financial aid application, nor is it part of the application. It is simply an optional tool to help students complete FAFSA on the Web (FOTW®), 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 for possessing or selling illegal drugs, or when question 23 on the FAFSA has been left blank.
