ED Releases 2025-26 FAFSA Preview Presentation
By Hugh T. Ferguson, NASFAA Managing Editor
The Department of Education (ED) unveiled new reference tools, screenshots, and a presentation of the upcoming 2025-26 FAFSA to help partners prepare for staff training and financial aid nights.
According to an electronic announcement released on Monday, financial aid administrators, mentors, and counselors can download resources that will walk through the initial 2025-26 FAFSA application and view the corrections process.
ED noted that the data used in the presentation is test data, which is used to show examples of the views that users will see on the website.
The department also put forward a FAFSA roadmap detailing key dates during the ‘beta’ testing period. As a reminder ED plans to make the 2025-26 FAFSA form available by December 1.
Stay tuned to Today’s News for more information on the FAFSA rollout.
