• 2025-2026 FAFSA UPDATE

  The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was expected to return to an October 1 start date for the 2025-2026 school year. However, on August 27, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) announced that the 2025-2026 FAFSA will only be available for testing to a limited set of students and institutions, and that the application will be made widely available to all students on or before December 1, 2024. In the meantime, students may use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to help estimate their options for paying for college. The Financial Aid Office continues to carefully monitor all Department announcements and will provide updates as things begin to move forward.
