2025-26 FAFSA Prototype

Complete the 2025-26 FAFSA Prototype to gain an understanding of FAFSA. It is not a complete replica of the 2025-26 FAFSA form. Instead, it is a web-based design tool that allows users to navigate specific scenarios that applicants may encounter on the live website. 

The FAFSA prototype demonstrates the following scenarios: 

• Initiating a new application as a student or parent
• Completing an in-progress application as a student, parent, or spouse
• Common corrections scenarios, including missing critical data elements or signatures, and voluntary corrections
