FAFSA Now Open To All Families For 2025-2026

"The Department of Education quietly announced that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be open for all families to complete as of November 18, 2024, as it wraps up final beta testing," Forbes reports.

... "Finally, it's important to remember that there are a range of financial aid deadlines to know about. Sarah Austin of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators points out that colleges and universities may have school-specific deadlines for completing the FAFSA. Beyond that, schools and states may also have their own financial aid applications with deadlines that are totally separate."

... "Austin adds that parents should check with their employers to see if scholarships or other forms of financial assistance are available to the employees' children for postsecondary education. Some employers will also help students pay for college if they work enough hours while in school, either through free college credits at certain schools or through tuition reimbursement programs."
