FAFSA

Free Application for Federal Student Aid


FAFSA® 2024-2025 application

The FAFSA® 2024-2025 application is now open, and you can go to studentaid.gov to complete it

The FAFSA® is a free online application for financial aid eligibility for college. It’s used by schools to put together your federal student aid package for one year of college. This package can include grants for college, work-study, federal student loans, and even state and school financial aid.

While financial aid is not the same as student loans, you must first complete the FAFSA® form to apply for a federal student loan. Completing the FAFSA® online is convenient—and it can make your financial aid search easier.

Students can follow Federal Student Aid on X, Instagram, and Facebook for announcements and resources.
