Pass/Fail forms are now available in the counselor's office. Students may choose to take a course on a pass/fail basis provided the course is not a graduation requirement.

FAFSA Applications Open!

Seniors - The 2026-2027 FAFSA is OPEN!

FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and it is used by colleges to determine student eligibility for federal and state grants, work study programs, need based scholarships, and student loans. The 2026-2027 FAFSA is available at studentaid.gov. Financial aid awards can be used at four-year universities as well as community colleges like ACC.

Students who cannot complete the FAFSA due to residency, may be eligible to complete the TASFA – the Texas Application for State Financial Aid. Read about the TASFA here. The TASFA will open on October 1.

You can find resources and events for completing FAFSA or TASFA here.

Students who want to be eligible for Texas Grants via FAFSA or TASFA need to complete the forms by the Texas Priority Deadline of January 15.

Read about ACC's free tuition program and financial aid here.

It is a Texas Graduation Requirement that seniors complete the FAFSA OR TAFSA OR to submit an Opt Out Form, Students must upload proof of their submission of FAFSA/TASFA or their Official TEA Opt Out Form to the 2026 Anderson Financial Aid Graduation Required Document form. Read more here.
