FAFSA Form Information
12th Grade Only
✹FAFSA LAW: Beginning in 2024, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-729 states that each public high school in Nebraska is required to account for all seniors in regard to the FAFSA (FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID) as part of its graduation requirements. A student will not be required to submit a FAFSA if an opt-out form is filled out and signed by a parent or guardian, the student themselves (if 19 years old), or by the school principal or principal’s designee for good cause.
What is the FAFSA for? The FAFSA informs postsecondary institutions about student eligibility for grants, work-study opportunities, and student loans. In addition, some scholarship providers require information from a student’s FAFSA to determine eligibility and award amounts. Financial aid offers are based on a completed FAFSA.
Scottsbluff High School Parents/Students have TWO options:
A) Agree to complete the FAFSA independently or with outside support to be discussed at the financial aid meeting
B) Fill out a waiver stating you do not wish to complete the FAFSA.
If you choose to complete the FAFSA, Parents/Students will follow the federal guidelines that will be outlined in the upcoming Financial Aid Meeting. The school will be required to track completion of the FAFSA with the United States Department of Education.
If you choose to complete the waiver, the online waiver and instructions are below. Click the appropriate link to download the waiver.

Parents can fill out the online waiver form, save the form and email the attachment. If you prefer to complete the waiver on paper, a copy was mailed with the senior letter or a new waiver can be picked up in the Counseling Office or the main office. Even if you complete a waiver, you are still eligible to submit a FAFSA when/if you decide; however, Scottsbluff High School will not be held responsible for tracking your FAFSA completion.
We must receive either the paper copy or the emailed waiver before students can receive a Chromebook. Paper copies must be returned to the counseling office and emailed forms should be sent to Natalie Ferguson at [email protected] BEFORE August 13, 2026. Parent/Student Informational Meeting Night to be held on August 11th is a great opportunity to either turn in or receive help completing the forms.
