Can I make corrections to my FAFSA after submitting it?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can make corrections to your FAFSA after submitting it. To make changes, login to your FAFSA account and select the "Make FAFSA Corrections" option. Corrections can be made for various sections, including personal information, dependency status, income details, etc. It is important to note that not all fields can be modified. For instance, Social Security numbers cannot be changed. Certain corrections may require supporting documents or additional information. After making the necessary corrections, submit the updated FAFSA. Keep in mind that some changes might impact the amount of financial aid you receive, so it's crucial to review your changes carefully. Also, state and institutional deadlines may affect the ability to modify your application, so make corrections as soon as possible.
