11 FAFSA Application Deadlines by State

3. Texas — [DATE — pending verification] (priority/varies)

Deadline: [DATE — pending verification]. Who it applies to: students hoping for Texas state grant and scholarship funds, including incoming freshmen and continuing students. Programs affected: Texas Grant and other state-administered awards often reference FAFSA timing for priority consideration. Why it matters: Texas awards some state aid on a rolling basis but still has priority windows; early filing helps with eligibility and award planning. Quick action steps: 1. Create your FSA ID and start the FAFSA early. 2. Collect prior-year tax documents for parents and students. 3. Add the Texas colleges you’re considering so they can pull FAFSA data. 4. Reach out to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board or your institution’s financial aid office if you have questions.
