If the number of webinars planned by the Department of Education is any indication, there's a lot to learn about FAFSA Simplification.

In an April 6 Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the Department of Education announced the Better FAFSA® Better Future Webinar Series planned for this summer.

According to the Department, this series of live webinars will cover the most recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) and the office of Federal Student Aid on implementation of the FAFSA Simplification Act, the FUTURE Act, and what institutions need to know about upcoming changes for the 2024-25 award year. Federal Student Aid staff will present the 10 webinars in this series in June-July 2023.

There is no registration for these webinars. According to the Department, participation will be available on a first come, first-served basis and it can accommodate up to 10,000 attendees in each session. A video recording and transcript of the Q&A portion of the webinar will be available the week following each live session.

A complete list of the webinars is included in the DCL.
