The 2024-25 FAFSA is now available!

The 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is now available. The soft launch period has ended. You can complete the form to apply for financial aid to help pay for attendance at college between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The U.S. Department of Education may initiate pauses for site maintenance and to make technical updates as needed to provide you with a better experience. Learn more about the 2024-25 FAFSA form launch.

Institutions will not start receiving the Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) until March. Until the information is available to the schools, we will not be able to answer many questions for 2024-2025 aid eligibility. 

Priority Deadline: Generally, you must submit your FAFSA® by February 1 each year in order to meet the priority deadline. Due to the delayed roll-out of the 2024-2025 FAFSA, the priority deadline has been moved to April 1, 2024. Eligible students who apply on or before the priority deadline are guaranteed an award.
