24-25 FAFSA Changes

Important information for faculty, student-facing staff and student employees! As many have likely heard, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is undergoing its biggest redesign in 40 years. Historically, the FAFSA has been available on Oct. 1 each year. A specific date hasn’t been announced yet, but we know the 2024-25 FAFSA will not be available until sometime in December of 2023. The new FAFSA will be shorter, more user-friendly and available in more languages. Beginning with 2024-25, students and families must provide consent on the FAFSA for the Department of Education to receive tax information or confirmation of non-filing status directly from the IRS, and the term Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be replaced with the Student Aid Index (SAI). Read more about other changes and what this all means for DU students on the financial aid website here: https://www.du.edu/admission-aid/financial-aid-scholarships/2024-25-fafsa-changes
