The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 academic year is expected to be available no later than December 31, 2023!
The FAFSA may be delayed, but that doesn't mean your students' application for college admission should be! Our target date of December 1st to have all applications submitted is almost here! Submitting admission applications early increases scholarship opportunities!
WHAT STUDENTS CAN DO NOW TO PREPARE FOR FAFSA
Prior-Prior Year (PPY) Tax Information: The 2024-2025 FAFSA will use 2022 tax information for students and their families to determine eligibility for federal student aid. They should ensure that this information is completed and accessible.
All students and parents contributing to the FAFSA will need a FSA ID. If they don't already have one, they can create an account at https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
