FASFA reminder
This is a reminder to complete the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) form if your student plans to enroll between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. This is an annual requirement for students who receive state-federal-institutional need-based aid and/or students and parents who utilize federal student loans.
NOTE: Bluffton's priority deadline for need-based aid is May 1, 2025. Otherwise eligible students who submit the FAFSA after May 1 may not receive need-based grant aid from Bluffton or the campus-based Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). Ohio has a FAFSA filing deadline of Oct. 1, 2025, for students who are eligible for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant.
Returning students
Students renew financial aid for the 2025-26 year by completing the renewal FAFSA at Studentaid.gov.
The 2025-26 FAFSA uses tax information from the 2023 calendar year. In addition, students (and parents, if required) MUST consent to IRS data coming over into the FAFSA. If not, no federal/state aid can be awarded.
