Updates impacting the FAFSA application for the 2024-25 academic year.
The FAFSA Simplification Act includes the first major redesign of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application process in over 40 years. The changes are intended to make applying for federal student aid easier, however, the rollout has resulted in delays as Federal Student Aid partners identify and resolve system issues.
