The 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is Live!

As part of the 2024-25 FAFSA re-design, the U.S. Department of Education has made further adjustments, which will allow more students to be eligible for federal aid funds.  As a result, institutions will not begin receiving FAFSA’s at the end of January 2024, as previously indicated.  At this time, institutions have not been provided a timeline for 24-25 FAFSA's to be released to schools.  This will result in delayed communications to students in regard to documents that might be required and federal aid offers.  Please remain patient with the financial aid office as we will be working diligently to ensure your federal aid is processed in a timely manner.

What’s changing with the FAFSA?

• A streamlined FAFSA form available in more languages
• Expanded Pell Grant access
• Changes in how your family size is determined
• Replacing the term Expected Family Contribution (EFC) with the Student Aid Index (SAI)
• Contributors (anyone who is required to provide information on your form, such as a parent) must provide financial information
• Tax information automatically transferred into the application through IRS Direct Data Exchange
