    You can apply for this starting on Jan. 1st of your senior year.  This form is used to determine the amount of money a family is expected to contribute to the price of attending a postsecondary institution. The results of the FAFSA are used in determining student grants, work study, and loan amounts.

    "How soon after January 1 should the FAFSA form be sent in? Is it better to wait until the income tax forms have been completed?
    Send in the form as soon as possible after January 1. Do not wait until your taxes are done. Although it is better to do your taxes early, it is ok to use estimates of your income, so long as they aren't very far off from the actual values. You will have an opportunity to correct any errors later. If you wait too long, you might miss the deadline for state aid. Most states require the FAFSA to be submitted by March 1, and some even as early as early or mid-February." http://www.finaid.org/questions/faq.phtml
