Show your spirit, renew your aid

Spirit store opening in the Powerhouse today

A newly revamped campus Spirit Store is opening in the Powerhouse today, combining Beloit College merchandise with the home of Campus Recreation. This store is in the same location as the previous store on the street level.

At the Powerhouse Spirit Store, you can still buy Beloit College apparel and swag, and now also check out a Sinnissippi cruiser or borrow Gear Shack equipment for camping (sleeping bags & pads, tents, and more) and sports (equipment for pickleball, soccer, basketball, spike ball, bags/corn hole, disc golf, and more).

Bring your debit/credit card to buy merchandise. Bring your Campus Rec App to check out Gear Shack items (free!).

File your FAFSA to renew your aid for next year

It’s time to file your Free Application for Federal Student Aid for the coming year. If you haven’t done it already, make sure you do – it’s the process that you need to do every year to maintain your financial support for the next year.

Rather do it with help? Join the Financial Aid staff to complete your 2025-2026 FAFSA in person on Wednesday from 1 - 2 p.m. on second floor Pearsons. If you need help any other time, you can always stop by the Financial Aid office or schedule an appointment.

Any other “Contributors” on the FAFSA, such as your parents, will also need to complete their portion for your FAFSA results to be sent to Beloit. You can start your FAFSA and then invite others who need to contribute.
