The US Department of Education has released the 2027-28 FAFSA application ahead of its usual schedule, giving students and families extra time to apply for federal financial aid. The early launch is meant to give applicants a head start on securing grants, loans and work-study funds for college. Education advocates have long pushed for smoother, earlier FAFSA rollouts after past delays disrupted aid planning.
