Opportunity Extended: Watch Governor Wes Moore's Message on Federal Student Aid

Dear Students, Families, K-12 and Higher Education Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that the deadline for completing the 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) has been extended! This means students now have additional time to apply for financial aid.

Governor Wes Moore's video highlights the importance of completing the FAFSA to secure over $7,000 in federal student aid. These funds can significantly help cover the costs of career school, community college, or a four-year university.

Please help us spread the word about the FAFSA and the extended deadline among your peers, family, and community. Thank you for all you do to ensure every student has the resources they need to thrive in their education.
