Take the Next Step: Complete Your FAFSA

The 2027 to 2028 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open. Asbury encourages you to complete your application early to maximize available financial aid opportunities.

The FAFSA helps determine your eligibility for federal, state and institutional assistance. Some state funding operates on a first come, first served basis and may run out by spring.

You can complete your FAFSA at StudentAid.gov using Asbury’s Federal School Code: 001952.

“Filing early gives your family more time to understand the financial aid available to you, consider your options and plan with confidence,” said Jennifer McChord, Vice President of Enrollment & Marketing.
