The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens for the 2026-27 academic year.

Completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the best way we can build a comprehensive financial aid package for you. The FAFSA is the method the federal government uses to determine how much you and your family can afford to contribute to your education, and it’s how PLU determines what need-based scholarships and grants, as well as loans and work study we can offer you. PLU’s FAFSA code is 003785.
