2024-2025 FAFSA Is Now Live!
The U.S. Department of Education released the new 2024-2025 FAFSA on December 31, 2023. This FAFSA is very different in how students and parents complete it. One of the big changes is students and parents will need to create their FSA ID/Studentaid.gov account at least 3-5 days prior to starting the FAFSA. Parents who already have an account will not need to create a new one.
A FAFSA Line-by-Line webinar is available, which will explain the changes that have been made. It will also take you through the process of completing the 2024-2025 FAFSA. Link to the webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDS5TFo-CbY

We will begin our 2nd semester schedules on Thursday, January 11th.
