The FAFSA application will open Dec 1st. Maybe you are sure if your student qualifies as a dependent or independent student. Follow the link to determine what your student is. Knowing this ahead of time will help you know what documents you need to have in order to complete the application. https://studentaid.gov/fafsa-apply/parents

This FAFSA tool can help students and parents determine which parent counts as the parent on the FAFSA form. Knowing this before the application opens on Dec 1st can help you be ready with all the proper information when the application goes live. https://studentaid.gov/fafsa-apply/parents

Here are the documents that students and parents will need to gather for the 2025-2026 FAFSA application. That application will open December 1st! https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out#documents

The 2025-2026 FAFSA will open on Dec 1st. There are some things that you can be doing now to be prepared when it opens. The first is all students need to create an account. Parents also need an account, but if you have one from a previous child, then you use that account. Parents DO NOT make more than one account. https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch

Here is a scholarship opportunity for Seniors that are planning to go into education or a business related field. The deadline for applying is Jan 10th. With the craziness of the Holidays I would encourage students to get their applications submitted as soon as possible. If they have any questions please see Mrs. Hubert or Mrs. Aurand. https://www.ksde.org/AEOP-Page
