Senior Families: The 2027–28 FAFSA is NOW OPEN!
The 2027–28 FAFSA opened earlier than the traditional October 1 date, which means seniors and their families can get started now.
A few things to know:
• What will you need? The student and appropriate parent contributor(s) will each need their own StudentAid.gov account. Have Social Security numbers (if applicable) and information about current assets available. Most federal tax information is transferred directly from the IRS, so you typically will not need to manually enter information from your tax return.
• It may not take as long as you think! The simplified online FAFSA can often be completed in around 15 minutes if you have the information you need ready to go.
Completing the FAFSA is an important step for students planning to attend college or another eligible postsecondary program next year. It determines eligibility for federal financial aid and may also be required for certain state, college, and scholarship opportunities. Remember, Nebraska law LB201 St. 79-729 now requires seniors to submit the FAFSA or an opt out form as a graduation requirement.
Senior families, this is one more thing you can officially check off the list! ✅ If you have questions please reach out to Mrs. Wood at 308-358-0640.
