3. New FAFSA priority deadline: February 15

The FAFSA will be simplified this year — which has slightly delayed its release. As a result our priority deadline has moved to February 15.

Students are also encouraged to create a profile on our scholarship-matching tool, ScholarshipUniverse, and apply for their top matches by February 15.

Our Alumni Scholars Program is another excellent option for students to receive funds from their local alumni club.

4. Request access to counselor portal
