(UNDATED) - The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is now open for the 2019-2020 school year.
The filing deadline is April 15th.
The U.S. Department of Education recently revealed a new option for filing the FAFSA--a smartphone application.
The myStudentAid app, available for iOS and Android devices, was designed to make it easier for the nearly 19 million students who file a FAFSA every year.
It's important for all students to file the FAFSA regardless of family income.
In addition to determining eligibility for state and federal financial aid, many colleges require a completed FAFSA to award merit and need-based scholarships.
Filing the FAFSA is particularly important for Indiana's 21st Century Scholars who must file on time to earn the state scholarship that pays for up to four years of college tuition.
Students can file the FAFSA online at FAFSA.gov or using the myStudentAid app.
