MACC

FAFSA Information

All students who need financial assistance must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year at StudentAid.gov.  

The 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required if you are applying for aid for fall 2025, spring 2026, and summer 2026. 

The 2026-2027 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required if you are applying for aid for fall 2026, spring 2027, and summer 2027. 

MACC’s Federal School Code is 002491

NOTE: MACC’s traditional summer 2026 term will require you to complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA. The last possible date to complete this form is June 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM.

If you are enrolled in a program with a unique academic calendar, such as the Occupational Therapy Assistant, Accelerated Associate Degree Nursing, or Practical Nursing Certificate program, you will need to complete the 2026-2027 FAFSA (available at StudentAid.gov on October 1, 2025) for your summer 2026 semester.

When completing the 2026-2027 FAFSA form, you and any required contributors will provide information that will determine your eligibility for federal student aid.  A contributor is anyone (student, student’s spouse, biological or adoptive parent, and/or the parent’s spouse) who is required to provide information on the FAFSA form, sign the FAFSA form, and provide consent and approval to have their 2024 federal tax information transferred directly from the IRS into the form.

We understand that some families’ income may have changed significantly since the 2024 tax year. If this applies to you, you must complete the FAFSA using 2024 information. Then, after filing your FAFSA, contact the Financial Aid Office to explain your situation. The school can assess your situation and make adjustments to your FAFSA.

Here are some additional resources available to help you complete your FAFSA.

Resources related to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form include help articles, videos, infographics, and more. You can browse by the categories listed on the FAFSA Help Page for specific help.

We know you probably have some questions. Here are some we’ve been hearing from students:

According to the U. S. Department of Education, experience for students should be as follows:  

  • Students will receive an email confirming that their FAFSA has been fully processed and that their information has been sent to the schools they listed on their form.
  • Students who applied using the online FAFSA form will receive an email stating that they can access their FAFSA Submission Summary by logging in to StudentAid.gov using their account username and password.
  • The Department of Education typically sends an email reminder to previous FAFSA applicants who have not yet submitted the newest FAFSA form.
  • Students will be able to make corrections to their FAFSA once their eligibility has been calculated and the ISIR generated. Students may view their eligibility calculation by logging back into their Studentaid.gov account.
  • The Department will fully process paper applications in the weeks following.

 Additionally, MACC typically begins reviewing FAFSA information in March.  Follow-up communication may be sent by mail, Financial Aid Portal, and MACC-issued email; this communication may include requests for missing information or a financial aid offer letter. 

You might find that the FAFSA process is easier than you expected. The FAFSA will request prior income and tax information that you already have. This change means you won’t have to use estimates anymore, or log in later to update your FAFSA after you file taxes!

Hopefully, you’ve already done your 2024 taxes by the time you fill out your 2026-2027 FAFSA, so you won’t have to wait to enter correct tax data into your FAFSA.  

Your FAFSA must be submitted by February 1 each year to be considered for the Access Missouri Grant. 

No. The 2026-2027 FAFSA requests 2024 tax information only.  You should be able to fully submit the 2026-2027 FAFSA in one sitting using your 2024 tax info. 

Note: The FAFSA asks for marital status as of the day you fill it out. So if you’re married now but weren’t in 2024 (and therefore didn’t file taxes as married), you’ll need to add your spouse’s income to your FAFSA.

Similarly, if you filed your 2024 taxes as married but you’re no longer married when you fill out the FAFSA, you’ll need to subtract your spouse’s income.

Follow these simple steps to transfer your (and your parents’) tax information into your FAFSA form:

No. You must report your 2024 tax info on the 2026-2027 FAFSA. You do not have the option to report your 2025 tax info. If your family has experienced a loss of income since the 2024 tax year, talk to the financial aid office about your special circumstance. We can assess your situation and make adjustments on a case-by-case basis.

Note: The FAFSA asks for marital status as of the day you fill it out. So if you’re married now but weren’t in 2024 (and therefore didn’t file taxes as married), you’ll need to add your spouse’s income to your FAFSA.

Similarly, if you filed your 2024 taxes as married but you’re no longer married when you fill out the FAFSA, you’ll need to subtract your spouse’s income.

Yes. For example, you must submit your FAFSA by February 1 to receive priority consideration for the Access Missouri Grant (free money).  

MACC’s scholarship application deadline is typically around March 15 each year. 

The 2026-2027 FAFSA can be completed anytime from October 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. Completing the FAFSA as early as possible provides you with the information you need to choose the best, most affordable college for you.

Tuition and fees are due by the first day of each semester. If you expect financial aid to be available to assist you with your educational expenses (tuition, fees, books, etc.), you must apply early to avoid late fees and other consequences! Don’t wait until July or August to apply; it will create unnecessary stress.

We may need to collect additional information from you before we can calculate your financial aid award. The earlier you complete your FAFSA, the sooner MACC will contact you with any additional information needed (if necessary). Sometimes processing additional information may take several weeks, so to prevent delays, we encourage you to complete your FAFSA early and follow up promptly.

As always, it’s important to check deadlines of private scholarships, too, so you don’t miss out on any free money for college!

Yes, you can complete the FAFSA before you’ve submitted your college application; however, MACC cannot import your FAFSA into our system for processing until you have completed an admissions application and provided your Social Security Number. It’s FREE to apply to MACC! Why not take care of that step now?

MACC will begin reviewing 2026-2027 FAFSA records in March. If you completed your FAFSA early, you should receive some correspondence from the Financial Aid Office in April. 

If you’re applying to multiple schools or thinking of transferring to another school, you might want to look at the College Scorecard to compare costs at different schools while you wait for your aid offers to arrive. Keep in mind that even if you do receive an aid offer early, it could change due to various factors.  Changes may occur if you make changes to your FAFSA, if MACC learns new information that may impact your eligibility, or if you receive new scholarships or other outside resources that were not previously reported.   

002491

An FSA ID consists of an account username and password that you create to gain access to the U.S. Department of Education’s online systems, including StudentAid.gov. An FSA ID can also serve as your legal signature when completing electronic documents.

You’ll need your Social Security number (SSN) (if applicable) and your own email address to create an FSA ID.

All contributors must create their own FSA ID to access and complete their portion of the FAFSA form. Contributors without an SSN can create an FSA ID.

Nancy Ketchum

Ketchum is the first MACC staff member to be inducted into the Greyhound Hall of Fame.  She served as Greyhound Athletics Advisor, 1996-2005.  She founded the student athletics success program as the advisor, tutor, and mentor to MACC student-athletes.

Steffes also spearheaded the comeback of the Greyhound mascot and came up with the clever name of “MaJiC” as a nod to both the Magic City of Moberly and the college’s name of Moberly Junior College.
