Bridge 2 Life, in collaboration with Broward County Public Schools, Broward Education Foundation, University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University, and Broward College, are once

again offering early access to the 2025-2026 FAFSA starting on November 4th. Please read the following very carefully.

 

Three things are required:

 

1. High school seniors and their parents/guardians MUST create FSA IDs by October 25th to access the FAFSA application on November 4th. Attendance is also REQUIRED for the Zoom FSA ID prep session on October 24th. During this FSA ID Prep meeting, you will learn how to create your FSA IDs and receive the DOE student interest form. Students, please use a personal email to create your FSA ID, not your Broward Schools email. Please register in advance: Zoom Registration Link - Note: If you already have your FSA IDs, please still attend the Zoom meeting on the 24th to be given access to the DOE student interest form.

​

2. Complete the DOE student interest form (student only). The link to the DOE student interest form will be provided at the October 24th Zoom meeting. The form closes (must be completed by) October 28th at 11:59pm. Students who complete the survey will be notified by November 1st whether they’ve been confirmed or rejected for beta participation. All students must complete the interest form to participate in the FAFSA beta. If a student is nervous they filled the form out wrong, they may resubmit a form using this same link as many times as necessary. ation.

​

3.  Complete your FAFSA. Confirmed Beta participants will be granted access to the FAFSA on November 4th. A FAFSA workshop will be held on November 4th to provide step-by-step guidance.
 

 

Support in Spanish and Creole will be available. 

 

$20 Amazon e-gift cards

(1 per family) will be issued for proof of FAFSA completion.

 

Let’s get Broward County youth into the financial aid process as quickly as possible!
