2024-2025 Important FAFSA Updates
The FAFSA Simplification Act has brought many changes to the FAFSA process. The implementation of these updates means schools are receiving students' FAFSA information much later than usual. As of early April, FAFSA information for fall 2024 first-year students is being released to schools in batches.
