Understanding the FAFSA

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is your gateway to financial help like grants, scholarships, work-study, and federal student loans. Filling it out accurately and on time is essential. This application assesses your family’s financial situation to determine eligibility for federal and state aid, as well as aid directly from your college.

Completing the FAFSA accurately and on time is essential, as it can significantly impact the financial aid you receive. Each year, FAFSA forms are submitted by millions of students, and aid is often allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning that early submission can help maximize your potential aid package. Moreover, many schools and states have deadlines that are earlier than the federal deadline, so it’s beneficial to complete the form as soon as it opens on December 30, 2023, for the 2024-2025 school year. The process involves gathering financial details from you and your family, including income, assets, and any other factors that influence your financial picture.

By carefully completing the FAFSA, you ensure that you’re considered for the full spectrum of aid you’re eligible for—making college more affordable and easing the financial burden.

2024–25 FAFSA® Deadlines

Federal Deadlines

The FAFSA form had to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CT on June 30, 2025. Any corrections or updates must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CT on Sept. 14, 2025.

College and Career/Trade School Deadlines

Each college and career/trade school may have its own deadline. Check with the school you’re interested in attending. You may also want to ask about the school’s definition of an application deadline. For example, the deadline could be the date your FAFSA form is processed or the date the school receives your processed FAFSA data.

FAFSA experts know the ins and outs of this form, from tricky questions about dependency status and income reporting to making sure all details match up. They’ll make sure your application reflects your needs accurately, boosting your chances for aid.
