Investing in Your Future
Furthering your education is an investment. CollegeBoard found that in 2018, the average income of full-time workers with a bachelor's degree was 61% higher than their peers with only a high school diploma. Those with a graduate and professional degrees earned even more on average. You can view more of CollegeBoard's research here.

Please find below some helpful tips and information to help prepare you for the 2025-2026 FAFSA once available.
-
Create or reconfirm your Studentaid.gov Account (Previously known as FSA ID). Every contributor (student, parent, spouse) who needs to provide information on the FAFSA needs a Studentaid.gov Account (Previously known as FSA ID). This includes the student, the student's parents or stepparents (if the student is a dependent), and the student's spouse (if applicable).
-
NEW- The Future Act requires all contributors (student, parent, spouse) on the FAFSA to provide consent to share their tax information with the IRS. If the student, spouse,or parent, does not provide consent on the FAFSA the student will not be eligible for any federal aid.
-
Future Act Direct Data Exchange (FADDX)- In 2025-2026, the FADDX authorizes the IRS to provide federal tax information directly to the FAFSA application upon receiving consent. Consent is mandatory for transferring federal tax information from the IRS and determining the student’s aid eligibility. If a student or contributor does not provide consent, the student will be ineligible for any federal aid
