The FAFSA application for the 2025-2026 school year is now available!

Whether you’re a high school senior or a returning college student, completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can save you money and make your educational journey more affordable.
 
This includes the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, a bipartisan scholarship we established to lower the cost of community, private, public college, or career training by thousands of dollars a year – up to $27,500 over 5 years. Because of a recent expansion, all recent Michigan high school graduates are now eligible to earn a skill certificate or associate degree at their local community college tuition-free!
Right now, a majority of graduating seniors and college students are eligible to receive thousands of dollars per year from the State of Michigan to lower the cost of their college tuition. You are probably eligible for thousands of dollars in financial aid—more than you may realize.
 
The only way to get your money is to fill out your FAFSA. While the deadline is June 30, 2025, I encourage you to get ahead of the game and fill out your FAFSA as soon as you can. Filling out your FAFSA is free and takes less than an hour. To get started, go to www.fafsa.gov.
