The Department of Education published the 2024-2025 FAFSA on December 31 and it is currently available for students to complete. It is being called a soft open, which means the FAFSA may be down temporarily for maintenance or while other issues are addressed. If this happens when you are trying to log please try again at a later time. We do not have any additional information regarding this.
Our brand new, fully electronic institutional aid application is also available. You can find it linked here. The on-time deadline is still February 15th. To be considered on-time please submit both a completed 2024-2025 FAFSA and a completed 2024-2025 Institutional Aid Application by the deadline. Failure to meet this deadline may result in the loss of institutional aid eligibility. You will also need to submit all your, your spouse (if applicable) and your parent(s) 2022 signed federal tax information (including all applicable schedules) and 2022 W-2’s. We have included a link to our checklist for your convenience. It lists all the required documents necessary for Institutional Aid consideration.
The Department of Education will NOT be sending completed applications to schools until sometime later this month. That means that we will NOT be able to confirm that it was received. However, once you submit it, the date of submission to the Dept. of Ed is the filing date.
