Sallie Mae, the nation's No. 1 financial services company specializing in education, encourages high school seniors and other college-bound students to make completing the FAFSA part of their New Year's resolution checklist.
The FAFSA, which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is a must-do for students looking to tap not only federal aid but also most state and institutional aid.
FAFSA deadlines differ by state, with the earliest on Feb. 15 in Connecticut, quickly followed by California, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland and Michigan in early March, to name a few. The form for the 2012-13 academic year will become available on Jan. 1.
To help make it easier for students, Sallie Mae offers free tips and how-to videos at http://salliemae.com/fafsa
