Important Update:
2025-2026 FAFSA Opening Delayed
Due to the implementation of the FAFSA Simplification Act, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2025-2026 academic year will open later than usual. The new opening date is December 2024, rather than the traditional date of October 1.
This delay is part of ongoing efforts to simplify and improve the FAFSA process, making it more streamlined and accessible for students.
What does this mean for you?
Application Period: The 2025-2026 FAFSA will become available in December 2024.
Early Preparation: Students are encouraged to start gathering necessary documents early, such as tax returns and financial records, to ensure a smooth application process when the new FAFSA opens.
Stay Informed
More details and updates will be provided as the December release approaches. Be sure to check back regularly for additional guidance on how to complete your FAFSA application.
The deadline to submit 2023-2024 documentation is
August 30, 2024.
