State by state

State college aid, all 50 states and DC

Federal aid is only half the picture. Every state runs its own grants and scholarships, and most families never claim them because they never hear the program's name or miss its deadline. Pick your state to see its flagship aid, when to apply, and how it works with the FAFSA.

See the money you qualify for, free

The guide shows a student every grant, scholarship, and state program that fits them, with each deadline in one place. No account, no ads, and nothing you enter is ever sent to us.

Not starting today? Take the deadlines with you.

Leave an email and I will send the FAFSA and aid dates that actually matter this school year, starting with the printable FAFSA night handout. The 2027-28 FAFSA opens by October 1, 2026.

This is a mailing list, not an account. It holds your email and nothing else. Nothing a student enters into the guide is ever sent to us, and this address is never connected to it. One-click unsubscribe on every email, and it is never sold.
