As part of a proclamation of FAFSA Filing Month in Wisconsin, college-bound students and their families are encouraged to complete the free application for federal student aid for the 2027-28 academic year.
The FAFSA, which is completed annually, is used to determine eligibility for federal, state and school-based financial aid.
The aid includes grants, scholarships, work-study and federal student loans.
“Completing the FAFSA is an important step to ensure students have the resources and financial aid necessary to pursue higher education and reach their goals,” Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement. “There are countless educators, counselors, mentors, and community members who are ready to help students and families navigate these resources, and I encourage students and families to take advantage of this opportunity as soon as possible to start building toward their bright futures.”
For students looking to enroll in postsecondary education during the 2027-28 academic year, it is important to submit the application and take time to understand the various deadlines that apply. The 2027-28 FAFSA is available now.
