The 2025–26 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now open, allowing students and parents to apply for financial aid for the upcoming academic year. Completing the FAFSA is essential for accessing federal grants, work-study opportunities, and loans.
How to Get Started:
Create a StudentAid.gov Account: Both students and parents need individual accounts to sign and submit the FAFSA form. Gather Required Documents: You'll need your 2023 tax returns, W-2s, bank statements, and records of untaxed income. Complete the FAFSA Form: Visit fafsa.gov to start a new application. Students should initiate the form and invite parents as contributors if necessary. -
Submit Before Deadlines: The FAFSA is a graduation requirement in Illinois.
Completing the FAFSA early increases your chances of receiving the maximum financial aid available. For more information and to begin the application, visit fafsa.gov.
