FAFSA

The 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is Open!

The most important thing students will fill out for college is the FAFSA. All federal financial aid programs, most programs offered by the State of West Virginia, and many programs offered by colleges require students to submit the FAFSA. Each year, the Federal Government provides more than $150 billion in financial aid. Submitting the FAFSA allows you to be considered for need-based grant programs such as the federal Pell Grant — that’s money you don’t have to pay back!
