2024-25 FAFSA information

The 2024-25 FAFSA is your application for federal aid for Fall 2024, Spring 2025 & Summer 2025.  

The FAFSA Simplification Act expands eligibility for federal financial aid, streamlines the financial aid application process for students and families, provides a better user experience in completing the form, and also reduces completion barriers for certain student populations. There is no income cut-off to qualify for federal student aid, and many factors- such as the size of your family and your year in school- are taken into account to determine your Financial Aid Eligibility.

Federal Aid Eligibility includes that you:
  • have financial need for need-based aid,
  • are a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, and
  • are enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program at an eligible college or career/trade school.

The 2024-25 FAFSA is available now at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
