Yes, the FAFSA needs to be filed each year (it is an annual process). The FAFSA information is used to determine your eligibility for most types of financial aid. The Federal Processor must receive your FAFSA application by March 1 for you to be considered for priority financial aid. If you do not meet this deadline, you could lose some of your financial aid.
