The FAFSA opens in one week!

Let's bust a FAFSA myth:

❌ MYTH: "I probably won't qualify for financial aid, so I don't need to complete the FAFSA."
✅ FACT: You won't know what financial aid you may be eligible for until you complete the FAFSA.

The FAFSA can help determine eligibility for federal financial aid, and FAFSA information is also used by colleges and states when determining aid. Don't count yourself out before you apply.

As with everything, beware of scams and fraud! StudentAid.gov is the ONLY official website to complete the FAFSA.

The 2027-28 FAFSA opens October 1.

🎓 2 WEEKS UNTIL THE FAFSA OPENS!

So, what exactly is the FAFSA?

FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It is the form students complete to apply for federal financial aid to help pay for college, technical college and other eligible postsecondary education and training.

Completing the FAFSA can help determine your eligibility for federal grants, work-study and student loans. Colleges and universities may also use FAFSA information when determining eligibility for their own financial aid.

And here's the important part: You won't know what financial aid you may be eligible for until you complete the FAFSA.

The 2027-28 FAFSA opens October 1 for students planning to attend school during the 2027-28 academic year.

Start learning about the FAFSA now so you're ready when it opens.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate the completion of a great project! The Academies of Racine at Park's Construction and Horticulture students cut the ribbon on a new shed they built for the community garden at the Tyler Domer Community Center.

Not only will tools and supplies be kept dry, but water runoff from the roof will be collected in rain barrels for use in the garden.

This project was made possible with a grant from United Way of Racine County's Community Workforce Fund. #YouBelongHere
