Nebraska state law states that FAFSA completion is a high school graduation requirement. The law also states that parents/guardians can waive the FAFSA graduation requirement. If you wish to waive the requirement, please complete this GOOGLE FORM. Please keep in mind that if you do choose to waive the requirement, you can still complete the FAFSA at a later date.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) informs postsecondary institutions about student eligibility for grants, work-study opportunities, and student loans. In addition, some scholarship providers require information from students ' FAFSAs to determine eligibility and award amounts. Financial aid awards based on submitting a completed FAFSA help students pay for educational expenses after high school, reducing barriers to postsecondary education.

Neb. Rev. Stat. 79-729, provides that, beginning in school year 2024-2025 each public high school student must complete and submit a FAFSA as a graduation requirement or waive completion.
