The 2026-27 FAFSA Form is Live – Don’t Miss Out on Aid! 

We’re excited to share that the 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is now open at fafsa.gov. 

Completing the FAFSA form is a key to accessing federal, state, and institutional financial aid that can help cover the cost of college or career training. We strongly encourage all students to complete the form as soon as possible. Start your FAFSA form now: FAFSA.gov 

The earlier you apply, the better your chances of maximizing aid. 

If you need help or have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your school counselor or college advisor.
