The January 21 SAT has a registration deadline of December 21. This is the last testing opportunity for seniors applying to college for the fall of 2017.

FINANCIAL AID
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA, is available. It will use the 2015 tax year and a data retrieval tool to pull information directly from the IRS.
