The clock is ticking for a critical deadline for financial aid administrators.
The Department of ED reminded schools that the deadline for submitting the Fiscal Operations Report for 2023-24 and the Application to Participate for 2025-26, also known as the FISAP, is October 1.
Schools requesting Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) or Federal Work-Study (FWS) funds for the 2025-26 award year and/or had FSEOG or FWS expenditures or Federal Perkins Loan activity during 2023-24 are required to submit the FISAP.
Schools must complete and submit the FISAP at the COD website, where they will receive real-time validation edits and access to prior-year data.
The submission deadline is 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on October 1 and the printed signature page must be signed and mailed by October 1 as well.
A number of FISAP reminders are included in the announcement, including the ability to submit corrections until December 13.
