2027-28 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
What is the FAFSA, and why is it important? The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. To access financial aid to help pay for college, all students and parents should complete the FAFSA. Completing the form is the only way to know if you qualify for State and Federal financial aid. Maximize your financial aid by getting prepared and learning about the FAFSA now. Plan to complete your FAFSA as soon as possible after it opens on October 1.
