2024-2025 FAFSA Is Delayed
In order to fully implement the FAFSA Simplification ACT, the 2024- 25 FAFSA will be released in December 2023.
Seniors, after filing your FAFSA, be on the lookout for the Student Aid Report (SAR). You should receive the SAR within three days for online submissions and three weeks for a mailed-in signature page. A SAR is a summary of the FAFSA information a student submitted. If you are ineligible for federal aid, you should complete the WASFA. Occasionally students who submit a FAFSA or WASFA application may be asked for additional information (verification).
Complete your 2024-25 FAFSA & WASFA starting in December 2025.
It is important that the FAFSA (citizen or eligible non-citizen) / WASFA (undocumented) is completed as early as possible so you do not miss out on financial aid that you may be eligible for. Be sure to visit the school’s website for deadlines.
Every student should apply regardless of income. Some schools do not be offered merit aid if you do not fill out a FAFSA.
