Did you know thousands of federal dollars for college are left behind by high seniors each year?
The reason? Several high school seniors are not filing the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
A new Nebraska law sets a graduation requirement that high school seniors must complete the FAFSA. State lawmakers hope that more scholars will be able to access higher education by making it more affordable through financial aid.
While the 2025-26 FAFSA form doesn’t open until Dec. 1, 2024, prepare early by creating your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID! This ID will be important for the application.
Create your FAFSA account now to get your FSA ID by visiting their website.
Students and their caregivers both will need FSA IDs.
Remember, LPS seniors must complete their FAFSA for graduation by April 18, 2025.
