The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2026-27 academic year is available beginning Wednesday, Oct. 1. Students must complete and submit the FAFSA by the priority deadline of Sunday, Feb. 1, to be considered for maximum financial assistance.
The process should begin with the student completing their portion of the application and then inviting contributors to complete their sections. This step helps ensure the FAFSA is processed correctly.
The Office of Student Financial Aid will notify students via their Marquette email if additional documentation is required. Students will have 30 days to submit the requested information to ensure timely processing and full consideration for aid. Missing documents can also be viewed on the to-do list under the Financial Aid tile on CheckMarq.
Students are encouraged to review the Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for Financial Aid and the application process for undergraduates for more information.
Questions can be directed to Marquette Central.
