As of October 1, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year. FAFSA determines how much financial assistance an applicant will likely need to pay for school and connects applicants with resources like loans, grants, and scholarships. Easing the financial burden of attending postsecondary education is critical to making this statewide attainment goal a reality, and no student should skip FAFSA.
