ICAN Senior Alert – FAFSA Awareness Week is Here

Posted on
This week is FAFSA Awareness Week in Iowa – the official kick-off to the financial aid season.

The FAFSA form for Fall 2026 officially opened on October 1, which means you can now begin applying for financial aid.

Why is the FAFSA Important?

Filing the FAFSA is the first step toward accessing grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and loans to help fund your education. Plus, many colleges require it for financial aid consideration, regardless of your income level.

The FAFSA can be overwhelming for first time filers and seasoned completers alike, which is why ICAN and Iowa College Aid are here to help. Here are some events and resources that can help you in the planning process.

Don’t Wait – File Early!

Some financial aid is first-come, first-served. Filing your FAFSA early can increase your chances of receiving aid.

Have questions? We’re here to help! Contact us at 977-272-4692 or visit www.icansucceed.org/apt to schedule a free FAFSA completion session.

You can also join us for one of our virtual walk throughs of the FAFSA in which you join and fill out the FAFSA while being led through the form by an ICAN professional. Additional FAFSA assistance will be available through the chat feature to answer specific questions and provide assistance.
