Federal Student Aid (FSA) released draft strategic plan goals and objectives that will guide the office’s priorities and performance over the next five years. These goals and objectives outline FSA’s roadmap for continuing to modernize the federal student assistance programs and strengthen service to students, parents, borrowers, institutions of higher education, and other financial partners.
The draft plan includes clear objectives and performance measures designed to support accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
As a performance-based organization, FSA must invite input about its strategic plan from financial aid stakeholders. We view this as a crucial step that enables all of us to collaborate more effectively. FSA invites institutions of higher education, financial partners, and other stakeholders to review the draft goals and objectives and provide feedback that will help ensure FSA’s strategic plan reflects the needs, challenges, and opportunities across the stakeholders we serve.
The draft goals and objectives are available on the FSA data center.
The deadline to submit comments to FSAstrategicplan@ed.gov is 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2026.
We appreciate your engagement and partnership in helping shape the future direction of FSA.
