FAFSA Explained
The FAFSA is the primary form used by the U.S. Department of Education to determine a student’s eligibility for federal student aid. This aid can come in the form of grants, scholarships, and loans. By completing the FAFSA, students open themselves up to a variety of financial resources that can help make college more affordable.

Expert guidance: The workshops are led by knowledgeable financial aid professionals who can answer your questions and provide personalized advice.

Important Dates and Deadlines
Recent data indicates that in the United States, only about 61% of high school seniors complete the FAFSA, potentially leaving millions of dollars in aid untapped. One of the primary reasons for this gap is the lack of understanding surrounding the FAFSA process. DCC Workshops recognize this challenge and aim to bridge the knowledge gap through their comprehensive programs.
The FAFSA form becomes available on October 1st each year. The federal deadline to submit the FAFSA for the 2024–2025 academic year is June 30th, 2024. However, many states and colleges have their own deadlines, which are often earlier than the federal deadline. It is important to check with your state’s higher education agency and the schools your child is interested in attending to determine their specific deadlines.
