2024-2025 FAFSA

The Department of Education has made changes to the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which became available for submission as of January 2024.

As a member of the South Alabama Jaguar family, we suggest encouraging your student to submit their FAFSA soon so we can notify them of their aid package or any next steps as quickly as possible. 

Students must complete the FAFSA by April 1, 2024 to be considered for any FAFSA-based scholarships. 

Below are a few to-do items that can share with your student to help speed up the process.

If you & your student are new to the FAFSA, create a FSA ID for each of you.

Your student can apply for South Scholarships in JagSPOT
