FAFSA delay for 2024-2025 applications

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid opens on Oct. 1 of each year. However, in 2020, Congress passed the 'FAFSA Simplification Act,' which represents a significant overhaul of the FAFSA application process. As a result of these changes, the 2024-2025 FAFSA Application will be delayed until December 2023. Read more about the FAFSA change.

A nose 1,000 times better than ours

A dog can tell you a lot about the outdoors. When a Lab vacuums the ground with her nose and her tail spins like a helicopter blade, you know a grouse is about to fly. When the dog stops like a dragonfly, then runs off sniffing an invisible path, a snowshoe hare has crossed your trail. Read more about this sensitive instrument man has not been able to duplicate.


2023-2024 FAFSA-filing workshop

Please share with your students who may have not completed their FAFSA application for the 2023-24 school year. They can meet with a financial aid advisor to receive help with the application during workshops on Thursday, Oct. 5 or Friday, Oct. 6, from 4-5 p.m. each day. Students will need to bring their own laptops in order to work on their applications.
