Be FAFSA Ready

The new 2025–26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form will be available by Dec. 1, 2024. Completing the FAFSA is essential for accessing federal grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and student loans. It also determines eligibility for state aid, like the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, which could cover up to $27,500 for college!

To make FAFSA completion as smooth as possible, students and parents should:

Create your StudentAid.gov account or ensure you can access your existing account.
Parents (if your student is under 24) should also create their account if required.

What You'll Need:

• Full name (as it appears on your Social Security card)
• Date of birth
• Personal email address
• Social Security number (if applicable)

For more details and assistance, visit StudentAid.gov. Remember to use an email address you'll have access to long-term, and check if a parent or spouse also needs to create an account.
