FAFSA vs TASFA

Determine which application you should use to apply for financial aid.

Which application should you complete? 

You will complete one of the following applications to apply for financial aid: 

  • Available to US citizens, permanent residents, and certain eligible noncitizens 
  • Application for federal, state, and institutional aid 
  • Available to Texas residents who are ineligible for the FAFSA 
  • Application for state and institutional aid 

Gather your materials 

Have the following information available when completing the FAFSA or TAFSA to simplify the application process. Not all items will apply to all students and circumstances. Unless otherwise noted, all income information should be from the prior-prior year. For example, if you're applying for financial aid during the 2025–2026 school year, you should use 2023 tax information.

How do you apply? 

Start an application for the year that you are going to be in school. For example, if you're starting classes in Fall 2025, then you'll complete the 2025–2026 application.

To complete the FAFSA, review the FAFSA application from Federal Student Aid and follow the instructions. You can also follow this step-by-step FAFSA guide from Sallie Mae.

To complete the TASFA, visit THECB's TASFA landing page to submit the application electronically or download the paper version. Although the online TASFA will be sent electronically, you’ll still submit other documentation directly to the financial aid office.

What happens next?

After you submit the FAFSA or TASFA, you’ll need to take a few more steps to ensure you have the financial aid you need for college or training.  

  1. Confirm your application was correctly sent and received by the college.  
  2. Respond to requests for verification. Schools may need more information to determine your eligibility for aid. Send requested documents as soon as possible. 
  3. Review your financial aid offers and decide what types of aid you want to accept. 
  4. Learn about how you get financial aid and when to expect it. 
  5. Understand how to stay eligible for aid. You’ll need to send a financial aid application each year you’re in school. It’s important to understand federal and school policies for keeping eligibility.  

If you receive financial aid packages from multiple colleges, uAspire's financial aid comparison tool can help you see which is the best offer.
