McNeese to Host FAFSA Assistance Event

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available for the 2026-2027 academic year. McNeese State University is hosting a FAFSA event on Thursday, Feb. 26, to help current and incoming students complete the application.  

The McNeese Financial Aid Office will host the event on campus in Student Central from 5 to 7 p.m. No appointment is needed. McNeese students can stop by and renew their FAFSA and incoming students and their families can get assistance in filing the FAFSA. Student Central is located in Chozen Hall on the corner of Ryan and McNeese streets.

Additionally, a representative from Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA) will be on hand to answer any questions and provide assistance. 

Students can qualify for federal grants, work-study opportunities and loans to help pay for college through the FAFSA. All students are encouraged to complete the application.  

FAFSA applicants are encouraged but not required to bring their 2024 tax information and their social security number.  

The FAFSA is also important for current McNeese students who receive any kind of grants or student loans. To avoid delays in receiving your financial aid for the 2026-2027 academic year, students need to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.
