Many students depend on federal government student loans to finance their education. Filling out a FAFSA is the first step in determining how much federal aid you can receive. The federal deadline is usually June 30 but state and school deadlines vary. The FAFSA Web site has a list of some state deadlines. As a medical student, you will be classified as an independent student. Your parent’s income will not determine eligibility for funding from the Department of Education, but it will be used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to qualify for their scholarships and loans. Also, keep in mind that you will need to fill out the FAFSA every year that you need financial aid.
