We understand that the current uncertainty surrounding the Department of Education's status may raise questions for your family. At Grand Valley State University, we want to reassure you that we are here to support you during this time. We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep you informed as new information becomes available. At this time, there are no known impacts to federal financial aid applications and disbursement, including Federal Pell Grant, Federal Direct Student Loans, Parent PLUS Loans, and Graduate PLUS Loans.  We strongly encourage you to file your FAFSA for 25-26 as soon as possible, if you have not done so already.

If you encounter any technical issues with your FAFSA, please reach out to our office (finaid@gvsu.edu) for assistance. In some cases, we may need to direct you to Federal Student Aid for further support.
