• Completing the FAFSA:
• Completing the 2023-24 FAFSA webinar recording from September 2022

• Scholarship tracking sheet

Mapping Your Future is also monitoring upcoming financial aid changes for the 2024-25 FAFSA and will be updating its materials for students and families as more information is available from the U.S. Department of Education.
