We are aware of the new Executive Order related to the U.S. Department of Education. It is our understanding that this executive order will not impact funding for the current semester provided by the Department of Education, including federal student financial aid. With the spring term halfway through, most students have already received their financial aid, and disbursements will continue throughout the semester.

We are working to learn more about the impacts of the order and when more guidance is available, we will share additional information.

The 2025-26 FAFSA is now available for all students to complete!

Check out Applying for more information, read more about the Better FAFSA, or Contact our team for help!

FAFSA Frenzy is back!
Enjoy lunch while getting FAFSA and financial aid support.
