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.

Questions? The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is here to assist you in completing your FAFSA and in understanding your financial plan. Visit the FAFSA webpage (wichita.edu/fafsa) for more information.

Spring 2025 registration is here. If you have a fall 2024 balance over $2,000, meet with a Financial Aid advisor to discuss the options available to help you bring down your balance for enrollment.

Schedule an appointment online or walk-in anytime from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in 203 Jardine Hall.

The season might be spooky, but applying for scholarships shouldn’t be. Visit the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships at its table in the Rhatigan Student Center from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31 to learn more about ScholarshipUniverse, which connects Shockers to scholarship opportunities.

Are you ready for the 2025-26 FAFSA form? The form will launch Dec. 1. For now, the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships encourages students to create an account on studentaid.gov or take the steps towards account password and username recovery.

Make sure you have all your materials easily accessible to make the process as smooth as possible once the FAFSA form opens. If you have any questions, visit the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarship in 203 Jardine Hall or visit wichita.edu/fafsa.
