The Department of Education renewal application process is currently available for each year on October 1 of each year.
All renewal-eligible applicants can access Renewal FAFSA on the Web using their FSA ID to complete, sign, and submit a Renewal FAFSA on or after OCTOBER 1.
Each aid applicant who meets the eligibility requirements for a Renewal FAFSA by October 1 of each year, will be sent a Renewal Reminder e-mail to the email of record by the Department of Education. With the elimination of the paper Renewal FAFSA, it is particularly important that renewal-eligible students receive a Renewal Reminder, which informs them that they can use the Web to reapply for aid. The Department encourages students to update their address and e-mail address on their FAFSA to ensure the most current e-mail and mailing address information is present.

Education and Training Voucher Program
For young people leaving foster care, the daily struggle with adult responsibilities often makes planning for the future and pursuing higher education or training very difficult. The John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 addressed this challenge with programs to help youth transition to adulthood. The Education Training Voucher (ETV) Program followed in 2002, creating a federally-funded, state-administered initiative to provide funding and support for post-secondary education. The design of the program drew in part upon best practices that had evolved through Foster Care to Success’ work with foster youth.
Eligible students may receive grants up to $5,000 per year for up to five years or until the state’s age limit. ETV funds can be combined with other grants and scholarships to minimize or eliminate the need for student loans.
