The 2025-2026 FAFSA will not be available during the Early Decision application cycle. Since we still want to provide financial aid estimates to applicants, Early Decision applicants interested in a need-based financial aid estimate should submit the CSS Profile by November 1, 2024, using Wooster’s CSS code of 1134. We will begin mailing early estimates on November 15, 2024.
FAFSA will be live in December. Our Financial Aid team is here to help you navigate recent changes to the FAFSA. To better understand these updates, please view our FAFSA Simplification page. Add Wooster to your FAFSA with the code 003037.
All domestic students pursuing financial aid will be required to complete the FAFSA, even if you have already completed the CSS Profile. To speak to a member of our Financial Aid Office, please call 330-263-2317 or email financialaid@wooster.edu.
