Why is the FAFSA website down?

The FAFSA website is still online but it is very slow to the high volume of traffic to the website. But technically, the slow website could also be caused by rendered javascript files as this has been an issue last year too.  It is definitely a recurring problem that the Federal Student Aid website developer will surely sort out in the future

The form is now available the last time we checked. If you see the message indicating the FAFSA form is unavailable, wait a few minutes and check back. As mentioned, it could be due to a high volume of traffic visiting the website at the same time.

When to submit FAFSA form?

The federal government accepts FAFSA forms from the 1st of October 2022 through the 30th of June 2023, but many US universities and scholarships may require that a FAFSA be submitted sooner.

Make sure to check the submission due dates with FAFSA before clicking ‘submit’.

The FAFSA applications are now open for the 2022/2023 fall. The deadline for application is the 30th of June 2023.

Many scholarships require the applicants to submit the forms right on time. File the FAFSA in October as soon as applications open up to have the highest possible chance of receiving as much aid as possible.
