We’re Working with College Goal Wisconsin To Offer Free FAFSA Completion Events

The 2025-26 FAFSA is now open!

What is the FAFSA? The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the single most important step towards finding aid for two and four year college programs.

Join us for the 2025 FAFSA completion events, both in person or virtual.

Get free help to file; plus, your attendance will enter you into a drawing to win cash for college.

Filing the FAFSA takes on average less than 25 minutes to complete. You’ll receive professional, personalized help from a trained volunteer when you attend one of our 40+ statewide events.

Registration is encouraged for our in-person events and required for our virtual events.

Frequently asked questions:

  • Completing the FAFSA does not commit you to attending college, but it does keep your options open. Plus, it’s the single most important step in getting financial aid for making college affordable. The form takes on average about 15 minutes to complete.

  • You can bring all the materials to complete the FAFSA at College Goal Wisconsin. If you don’t have all the necessary materials, you can save the FAFSA and finish completing the form with your parents later.

  • Your parents should bring all the materials and they should be able to complete most of the FAFSA at College Goal Wisconsin. Then you can finish completing the form with your parents later.

  • You will be completing the FAFSA, and at no time will anyone ask to see your personal information. If you need help on a section that includes personal information, all information reviewed by the College Goal Wisconsin volunteers will be kept private and confidential and will not be used for any purpose other than helping you complete the FAFSA.
