Typically, next year's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) would be available beginning October 1st. However, due to the Federal Department of Education making major changes and improvements to the FAFSA form this year, the release of the 2024-2025 FAFSA form is delayed. While we currently do not know an exact release date, we expect the 24-25 FAFSA to be available in December 2023. Visit studentaid.gov for more information. You may also follow us on social media for updates.
