FAFSA 2025-26 Now Open

The 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open to all students and their contributors. A contributor refers to anyone (student, the student’s spouse, a biological or adoptive parent, or the parent’s spouse) who must provide information on the FAFSA form. 

Students and families should complete the FAFSA as early as possible. Submitting the FAFSA each year is the only way to ensure students have access to all the financial aid available to them. 

When filling out the FAFSA form, students and families should be sure to include Meredith’s school code 002945 so that Meredith’s Office of Financial Assistance receives their data. Financial aid offers are made after admission to the College and after the FAFSA is submitted.

Earlier this year, the FAFSA form was available to complete during a beta testing period. Beta testing participants do not need to fill out another 2025-26 form.

Prospective students and families should contact the Federal Aid Student Information Center (FSAIC) if they have questions or concerns about the FAFSA. International and undocumented applicants should submit Meredith’s Institutional Aid Application.

More information and resources on the FAFSA can be found on the Meredith website.
