April 10, 2025 Update: The final funding worksheets and the 2025–26 Statement of Account for each of the Campus-Based programs are now available on the COD website. Thank you for your patience as we worked to finalize the awards.
April 3, 2025 Update: The total 2025–26 federal funds available for allocation to schools under the FWS and FSEOG programs listed in this Electronic Announcement are correct. The funding worksheets and the 2025–26 Statement of Account for each of the Campus-Based programs will be posted to the COD website soon.
In a Jan. 31, 2025 Electronic Announcement, we informed schools of tentative 2025–26 funding levels for the Campus-Based programs. The final 2025–26 Campus-Based programs funding worksheets and the 2025–26 Statement of Account for each of the Campus-Based programs will be posted to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) website by April 1, 2025.
A school's 2025–26 final funding authorization for each of the Campus-Based programs is based on the applicable statutory formula and amount of funds appropriated by Congress for that program. A school will not receive a 2025–26 final funding authorization amount for a Campus-Based program that is more than its request for funds made for that program on the Fiscal Operations Report for 2023–24 and Application to Participate for 2025–26 (FISAP) previously submitted to the U.S. Department of Education (the Department).
On March 15, 2025, President Trump signed into law, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (P.L. 119-4), which appropriated $1,230,000,000 for the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program and $910,000,000 for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) Program for the 2025–26 award year.
The total 2025–26 federal funds available for allocation to schools under the FWS and FSEOG programs are as follows:
|
Program |
Total Federal Funds Appropriated for Allocation to Schools |
|
FWS |
$ 1,230,000,000 |
|
FSEOG |
$ 910,000,000 |
A school's final funding level for each of the Campus-Based programs is determined in accordance with provisions of the HEA, and by the implementing regulations at 34 CFR Part 673. The final funding worksheets posted on the COD website will show the information that was used in the calculation of each school's 2025–26 Campus-Based allocations.
As required by the HEA, unless a waiver has been granted, a school returning more than 10% of its FWS or FSEOG program allocation for an award year will have its allocation for that program in the second succeeding award year reduced by the amount returned. Thus, underutilization of 2023–24 funds could impact a school's allocation of 2025–26 funds.
We accepted requests for a waiver of any 2025–26 award year penalty for the underuse of 2023–24 award year funds with the initial submission of the FISAP or with any FISAP edit submissions received through the Feb. 3, 2025 waiver request deadline. We reviewed the waiver requests received, notified the financial aid administrators at the requesting schools of our decisions, and posted the decision letters to the COD website. Any school that underutilized its 2023–24 allocation by more than 10% and did not receive approval of a waiver request will see an adjustment in the applicable final funding worksheet on the line labeled "Allocation Reduction”.
In addition to this announcement, individual schools will be notified by email that the 2025–26 Campus-Based allocation information has been posted to the COD website. Emails are sent to the school’s Financial Aid Administrator, as provided in the school’s most recently submitted FISAP or the FAA listed on the "Contact Info" page in the Campus-Based section of the COD website. This email will advise the school that it can access its 2025–26 Campus-Based allocation information for each Campus-Based program in which the school participates in the school's 2025–26 Statement of Account or Final Funding Worksheets posted on the COD website. To access both documents:
-
Log in to the COD website
-
From the School tab, select “Campus-Based” from the left navigation menu
-
Select the "Self-Service" link from the left navigation menu, then “Notifications”
-
Select the 2025–26 Application Year from the drop-down menu to view the Statement of Account and Final Award Worksheet
An explanation of the funding worksheet for each program and information about Standard Expected Family Contribution procedures can be found below.
All Campus-Based funds available for the 2025–26 award year have been allocated in this final Campus-Based allocation process. However, some schools may qualify for supplemental 2025–26 Campus-Based funds based upon a reallocation of funds not spent by institutions from 2024–25 allocations. Specific information on the reallocation process and the electronic application for requesting additional funds will be provided in subsequent communications.
For additional information about 2025–26 Campus-Based allocations, contact the FSA Partner and School Relations Center at 1-800-848-0978. You may also email CODSupport@ed.gov.
