FAFSA 2027-2028: Key Updates for Students and Families Webinar
Wednesday, October 14
Noon or 5pm
Virtual
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens each year in October and is the key to unlocking funding for college. While the 2027-2028 FAFSA process should be similar to last year’s, financial aid options have been impacted by the OBBB — especially for graduate students. This session provided by MMFCU's partner Student Choice will be presented by a college expert covering:
- How the OBBB Reshaped Financial Aid
- FAFSA Timeline and Deadlines
- Why complete the FAFSA?
- Navigating the FAFSA – before, during, and after
You will need to register to be able to attend.
