AUTHORIZATION FORM FOR DECLINING TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT

THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA)

PRIOR TO GRADUATION FROM A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) informs postsecondary institutions about student eligibility for grants, work-study opportunities, and student loans. In addition, some scholarship providers require information from student FAFSA’s to determine eligibility and award amounts. Financial aid awards based on submitting a completed FAFSA help students pay for educational expenses after high school, reducing barriers to postsecondary education.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-729, provides that, beginning in school year 2024-2025, each public high school student must complete and submit to the United States Department of Education a FAFSA prior to graduating from high school except as otherwise provided on this form.

A public high school student is not required to complete and submit a FAFSA if this form is completed for the student, signed, and submitted to the high school principal and one of the following options applies:

OPTION 1: A parent or legal guardian of or a person standing in loco parentis to the student authorizes the student to

decline to complete and submit a FAFSA;

OPTION 2: The student who is 19 years of age or older or an emancipated minor declines to complete and submit a

FAFSA; or

OPTION 3: The high school principal or the high school principal’s designee authorizes the student to decline to

complete and submit a FAFSA for good cause as determined by the principal or principal’s designee.

Signing and submitting this form does not prohibit a student from completing and submitting a FAFSA at any time, now or in the future.
