🚨 CLASS OF 2027: Don’t FAFSA too soon! 😅

Unless you’ve been approved to participate in the 2027–28 FAFSA beta testing period, your FAFSA time hasn’t arrived yet.

And trust me, you do NOT want to spend time completing the wrong FAFSA just to turn around and do it again. 👀

Use this time to get prepared so you can hit the ground running when it’s your turn. Financial aid planning starts BEFORE the FAFSA opens!

This is HUGE!

Texas State just made college dramatically cheaper for middle-income families. 🎓

Starting with the Fall 2027 freshman class, students who graduate in the top 25% of their Texas high school class with family income of $100,000 or less will pay zero tuition and mandatory fees — for up to four years. That's double the old income cap, and the university expects about 3,400 incoming freshmen to qualify.

If you have a high school senior in Texas, don't miss the March 15 FAFSA deadline. Send this to a parent who's stressing about college costs.

🚨 Texas A&M Applicants, Take Note! 🤠📚

Texas A&M has updated its 2026–2027 Common App! In addition to the personal essay, applicants will now complete four new required short-answer essays.

This gives you even more opportunities to help admissions understand who you are beyond your transcript.

The key is making sure every section tells one cohesive story. Your personal essay, short-answer essays, GPA, test scores, activities, and honors should all work together to showcase your passions, experiences, strengths, and future goals.

When every piece of your application reinforces the same message, admissions officers gain a clearer picture of who you are and why you’d be a great fit at Texas A&M.
