Time to Renew your FAFSA® 23-24
For all students who are attending Summer and Fall '23, please remember to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) 23-24 application. Please remember the FAFSA® application has to be renewed every academic year, an academic year is measured from Fall to Spring. If you attended spring and are doing summer school you should have both applications 22-23 (previous) and 23-24 (upcoming) completed. There is some overlap for types of financial aid you can receive. For Summer '23 you will need to complete a FAFSA® 22-23 to receive Pell Grant during the summer and FAFSA® 23-24 to receive CCCPG during the summer. For more details or if you need help filling out a FAFSA® application you can make an appointment here with an NCEOC Advisor.
