Shockers — it’s time to complete your 2025-26 Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The FAFSA helps you unlock thousands of dollars to help fund your college education.

The new and improved FAFSA form from last year has been refined, giving students easy access to financial aid opportunities. Current Shockers who are interested in applying for 2025-26 scholarships should submit their FAFSA as soon as possible. The earlier you submit, the more likely you are to receive all of the scholarships you are eligible for.
