High School rising seniors, parents, guardians and extended family members,

For a second consecutive year, Bridge 2 Life has been selected by the Federal Office of Student Aid to offer FREE early access to the 2026-2027 FAFSA, starting on August 5. This is a rare opportunity for Broward County families to prepare ahead of time for the financial aid application process, months before the new FAFSA is released. Bridge 2 Life, in collaboration with Broward County Public Schools, Broward Education Foundation, University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University, and Broward College, have partnered to bring these early access benefits to “rising seniors” and their families.​
