• 2024-2025 FAFSA is OPEN!
  • Priority Date is JUNE 30, 2024 – meaning students who apply before then may be eligible for priority aid (certain types of grants, work study and certain loan funding). Students can still submit their FAFSA after the Priority Date but the priority aid is limited so doing it early is beneficial!
  • For federal aid, submit your application as early as possible, but no earlier than October 1, 2023. We must receive your application no later than June 30, 2024.
  • If you are filing close to one of these deadlines, we recommend you file either online at fafsa.gov or via the myStudentAid mobile app. These are the fastest and easiest ways to apply for aid.
  • Your college must have your correct, complete information by your last day of enrollment in the 2024-2025 school year.

 

•   DEADLINES:

• • 2022-2023 Academic Year - the FAFSA form must be submitted by 11:59 pm Central time (CT) on June 30, 2023.  Any corrections or updates must be submitted by 11:59 pm CT on Sept 10, 2023.

You may also want to ask your college about its definition of an application deadline.
