FAFSA- Financial Aid

FAFSA & Other Financial Aid

Do NOT have a social security number? Nevada provides eligible undocumented residents, including DACA recipients, with access to in-state tuition, state financial aid, professional and occupational licenses, and driver's licenses and state identification.

Here are links to all of the colleges and their contacts. https://nshe.nevada.edu/leadership-policy/administration/academic-student-affairs/students/dacaundocumentedstudents/institution-daca-resources/

This year all WCSD High Schools have coordinated FAFSA nights. If you can't attend one at the high school your student attends, you can attend a different night. These dates will be happening in January. Find dates and locations here! (All times are from 6-8 pm)

There are many changes coming to the FAFSA that started the 2024-2025 aid year. This process is called “FAFSA Simplification.” Because of these changes to the process and continued problems, FAFSA for 2025-2026 will not be open on the usual date of October 1st. Currently open to everyone November 18!
