ACPE’s Master the FAFSA Training

ACPE’s Master the FAFSA Training provides a line-by-line overview and in-depth analysis of the 2026-27 FAFSA process.

Education and Workforce Development professionals gain better understanding and navigation of the FAFSA form to ensure they can independently support students/families and adult learners with successful FAFSA completion!

ACPE’s Master the FAFSA Training (MTF) sessions take place:

• Weekly, on every Monday and Thursday
• From 2:00 to 3:45 pm
• Virtually on Zoom

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a series of training sessions. Weekly ACPE’s Master the FAFSA Training sessions are separate sessions that cover exactly the same material. Individuals only need to register and attend one session; however, multiple sessions are available to accommodate a variety of schedules.

Attention!
Although everyone is welcome to attend ACPE’s Master the FAFSA Training (MTF), it is specifically designed to train professionals who assist others with the FAFSA. MTF delivers a step-by-step tutorial on how to complete the FAFSA and offers deeper dives into a variety of more complex student scenarios. Student/contributor FAFSA's are not completed during Master the FAFSA Training sessions.

Individuals needing assistance with personal FAFSA completion are encouraged to explore ACPE’s extensive FAFSA completion resources on this page.

Please reach out with questions to Dominika Szpotanska, ACAC Coordinator, at dominika.szpotanska@alaska.gov.
