FAFSA Information

Please see the FAFSA information released from the Texas 4-H Foundation earlier this week:

FAFSA has rolled out a new form to be used for 2024-2025. They had a soft launch the last couple of weeks, but we believe that it is fully functioning as of Monday, January 8^th. The Texas 4-H Foundation understands that scholarship applicants have not been able to submit applications since the FAFSA portion is required on the application. We will be moving forward with an updated requirement, and we need your help communicating this to your families!

Applicants must complete a 2024-2025 FAFSA Application by January 31^st to be eligible for consideration for a Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship. 

               -In the FAFSA section in the Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship application, applicants will input a “0” for the EFC box.

               -In the FAFSA upload spot, applicants will upload a screenshot of their FAFSA account dashboard that shows their form is in review, submission date, and name of applicant. (Example below)

               - If applicants already have their report back from FAFSA, they can input it in the appropriate spots.

               - If applicants have not received their FAFSA report back by the February 15^th deadline, they need to follow the instructions above using their FAFSA submission confirmation.

The Texas 4-H Foundation Opportunity Scholarship DEADLINE is still February 15^th. Please make sure your applicants are aware that there WILL NOT be an extension on the deadline. Once applicants receive their official FAFSA report back (after February 15^th), they will submit it using this link: https://fs23.formsite.com/YVsLnb/junaan8zju/index

               -The deadline to submit your FAFSA report through this link is March 31^st. 

Example of approved screenshot:

You can take this with a phone, snipping tool, print screen, etc. to attach to the application. This can be from the parent dashboard or the applicant dashboard.
