Important 2026-2027 FAFSA Update
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA/OB3), beginning with the 2026-2027, August 2026, award year, students are ineligible to
receive a Federal Pell Grant if they receive grants or scholarships from nonfederal
(state, institutional, private, etc.) sources in an amount that equals or exceeds
the student's Cost of Attendance (COA). This is true even if the student is otherwise
eligible for a Pell Grant.
Don’t forget to sign your FAFSA. If you are required to provide your parents’ tax information, one of your parents must also sign your FAFSA. This can be done online by using your FSA ID. Both you and a parent will need an FSA ID.
