GREEN BAY, Wis. (WRN) — Universities of Wisconsin System President Jay Rothman made a stop at Green Bay Southwest High School Monday to encourage students and families to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, for the 2026-27 academic year.
“Just before the government shutdown, the Department of Education issued a memorandum indicating that the FAFSA process was going to continue, and the last statistics available nationally is that this was one of the best starts to the fasting process ever,” Rothman said.
Rothman was joined by UW Green Bay chancellor Michael Alexander and representatives from area high schools. The FAFSA became available to high school seniors last week.
