The 2024-25 FAFSA has been released by the Department of Education! While the FAFSA is open, it has been released as a soft launch which means that there will be periodic outages for maintenance and monitoring. Users who can’t access the form during the soft launch should check back later to see if access has been opened again.  Applicants may also experience a waiting room feature to help control web volume. More information about the soft launch can be found on the Federal Student Aid website.

While students can fill out the form now, FAFSA data will not be shared with the college until late January. Students who have submitted the FAFSA will receive a notification email from the Office of Financial Aid once it has been received.
