FAFSA Updates and Reminders

FAFSA Simplification: This year’s FAFSA has undergone significant changes to simplify the application process. It’s open now, so be sure to encourage students and families to file as soon as possible to maximize their aid eligibility.
Key Deadlines: Remind families to check federal, state, and institutional deadlines to avoid missing critical opportunities.
Student Aid Report (SAR): After submission, students should review their SAR carefully to ensure all information is correct and to understand their Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
Calculate Student Aid: Parents can use the Federal Student Aid Estimator to determine how much federal aid they will qualify for.
