FAFSA

2017 - 2018 FAFSA

(Early FAFSA/Prior Prior Year)

The 2017–18 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) season will begin earlier than previous FAFSA application cycles

Beginning on Oct. 1, 2016, students will be able to fill out the FAFSA for the 2017–18 school year. (In the past, they had to wait until January 1). In addition, applicants will no longer need to estimate income and tax information and will be able to retrieve their data directly from the IRS, right from the first day the FAFSA is available. Students also will have information about their Expected Family Contributions earlier, helping them as they’re going through the college application and selection process.

Coffee Break: Education in Crisis

September 22, 2021

Free Webinar | 2:00-3:00 pm ET

Covid-19 has dealt a massive disruption to education and continues to do so. We have watched as those disruptions have been compounded in international education by the crises in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Haiti, and others.

Join your colleagues for a discussion surrounding how we can assist those impacted.

The following questions will be discussed:

Does your institution have any policies designed to help displaced students?
- Flexible admissions or flexible financial considerations?
How do you communicate those policies so that they can be found readily by students and scholars?
- Is this something your institution would be interested in developing?
Are there scholarships designed to help even one or two students experiencing disruption to their education?
- Are there collaborative opportunities available in the local community?
