Greetings from PHEAA’s Pennsylvania School Services!
The U.S. Department of Education (Department) announced that the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA® form) will be launched through a new process. Starting on October 1, the Department will release the 2025-26 FAFSA form for testing with a limited set of students and institutions. The Department will make the application available to all students on or before December 1.
PHEAA is hosting a state-wide webinar on September 10th from 6:00-7:00PM to help students search and apply for scholarships. The cost of a postsecondary education can add up quickly for students and families. Thankfully, there is funding to help cover those expenses. Join us as we share tips to help students successfully search and apply for scholarships. After attending this webinar, students will understand the different types of scholarships, resources for finding scholarships, and tools to help increase their chances of earning those scholarships. Register here!

Additional resources for counselors and partners can help you to guide families and students through the financial aid process and plan FAFSA Completion Events and Financial Aid Nights. Our toolkit includes social media posts, FAFSA-themed images, and links to help you promote the FAFSA to your students and families.
Financial Aid Workshops for Educators—Join us for a free workshop to learn more about the 2025-26 FAFSA, federal and state financial aid programs, and guiding students through the application process. Help us increase access to financial aid in Pennsylvania. At the end of the workshop, a link to a quiz will be provided that is required to receive Act 48 credits.
