2025-2026 FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a critical tool that provides students with access to a wide range of financial resources to support their educational goals, including grants, scholarships, low-interest loans, and the federal work study program all designed to help offset the costs of attending a college or university. At Cleary University, the 2025-2026 FAFSA will cover the Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026 semesters.
