2024-2025 Major FAFSA CHANGES
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your application for financial aid at Arkansas Tech University Ozark Campus. The FAFSA has minor changes each year, but for 2024-25, the biggest changes in several decades are being implemented via the FAFSA Simplification Act.
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:
