Families,
You can now apply for the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Go to bit.ly/DoTheFAFSA to file your FAFSA today.
As a reminder, LPS seniors and their caregivers need to complete the FAFSA by April 18, 2025, to meet the new graduation requirement per new Nebraska state law.
Why FAFSA Matters
- FAFSA is the key to getting federal money to help pay for college, including grants, loans and work-study.
- Many colleges and universities use the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for this funding, potentially reducing your out-of-pocket education costs.
- Each year, high school seniors leave thousands of federal dollars behind by not filing the FAFSA. For example, they left more than $4 billion behind in Pell Grants in 2024 by not completing a FAFSA.
