Abstract
The U.S. Department of Education (Department) requests information in the form of written comments that include feedback on ways to improve the "help text" of the 2025-2026 FAFSA form, as well as for the development of supporting materials including student and contributor tip sheets, counselor guides, or other direct communication tools to ensure applicants and contributors can successfully complete and submit the 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA[supreg]) form. The Department also seeks feedback from financial aid administrators, counselors, and other members of the public on ways the Department can provide additional support to ensure applicants and contributors complete the FAFSA, and institutions of higher education and State grant agencies have support for the processing and packaging of student aid. Based on the suggestions submitted in response to this notice, the Secretary will consider changes to the 2025-2026 FAFSA supporting materials and develop a new Better FAFSA Better Future Roadmap (the Roadmap) that will outline the new tools the Department is making available, such as additional trainings, webinars, counselor guides, and student and contributor tip sheets.
