The 2025-26 FAFSA is now open! Swing by workshop tomorrow for assistance
The Department of Education has officially opened the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2025–26 academic year. The 2025–26 FAFSA will cover fall 2025, spring 2026, and summer 2026, and the application is required to be eligible for certain types of financial aid, including federal and state grants, student employment, and Stafford loans.
The financial aid office will be hosting several events in the coming weeks to assist you and your contributor(s) with the FAFSA and other financial aid questions. Look through our schedule below and save the dates!
Continuing Student Webinar
Registration is now open for our continuing student webinar taking place from 4 to 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9. We will cover important information about the FAFSA, financial aid timelines, scholarships, loans, professional judgments, anticipated charges, and more.
