You do have to do a new one for each new school year, but it's not difficult. You can go to the fafsa website and pull your information forward from you last year's application and just make changes is necessary.
I am trying to do the majority of the FAFSA information myself because my parents are pretty busy. I applied for Financial Aid last year and did not get any. Do I have to re-fill out the forms every year I am in school? Is it the same form for FAFSA or is there something different you can fill out when you are re-applying instead of applying for the first time? Sorry for the multiple questions, I am feeling a little lost with this.
Yes, you will need to re-apply annually, and even though you didn't get any aid last year, you may for the coming year.
It is practically the same form (other than some minor annual update).
