October is Financial Aid Month, and it’s a great time to get a head start on your 2027–28 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA). 

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Throughout October, ACC’s financial experts are offering workshops where you can get personalized help with your application, learn about your options, and get your questions answered.

ACC workshops can help you apply for:

  • Grants — money you generally don’t have to repay
  • Work-study — part-time jobs that can help you pay for college
  • Loans — money you borrow and repay
  • Scholarships — financial support that may help cover college costs

The 2027–28 FAFSA and TASFA open October 1. When you submit your application, use ACC’s school code: 012015. After you apply, you can track your financial aid status through Self-Service.

If you need financial aid for fall 2026, spring 2027, or summer 2027, you can still submit the 2026–27 FAFSA or TASFA.

Financial aid rules have changed for the 2026–27 academic year, including updates to federal student loans, Pell Grant eligibility, TASFA requirements, and federal loan repayment options.
