FAFSA Workshops at Wayne College for 2026-27 Academic Year

Choosing which college or university to attend is a big decision, and it's reassuring to know you have support throughout the enrollment journey. Wayne College is here and ready to help! Our dedicated staff will guide you through every step—admissions, scholarships and financial aid—to ensure you’re set up for success!

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your ticket to grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities and federal loans. Whether you’re eyeing the Ohio College Opportunity Grant, Pell Grants, work-study jobs or federal loans, FAFSA unlocks critical resources to help fund your education. And don’t forget: many scholarships and grants require you to complete the FAFSA each year, even if you don’t plan to borrow federal loans.

Completing the FAFSA is safe and your information is secure and protected from spam. Head online to https://studentaid.gov/, the official U.S. Department of Education website. Remember, the FAFSA is a free application; please never pay for assistance in completing it.

Don’t let deadlines sneak up on you! Financial aid is limited, and every college has its own FAFSA deadline. Check the school’s website and be sure to file early to maximize your opportunities!
