According to the National College Attainment Network (NCAN), less than half of the high school class of 2024 has completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). That's a 13.5% drop compared to this time last year. Here's what you need to know about the U.S. Department of Education's plan to revamp the Federal Student Aid office in the wake of the botched Better FAFSA rollout. #FAFSA #HigherEd #FinancialAid

Here's the good news: The Department of Education has updated the FAFSA's Student Aid Index formula with the correct adjustments for inflation, meaning more families will be eligible for federal aid. The downside is this now delays when colleges will receive FAFSA data. Just yesterday, the American Council on Education released a joint statement urging colleges to extend their financial aid and enrollment deadlines. Many schools have already announced extensions, like Stanford for first-year priority applicants. Here's another thing to keep in mind: If you already completed the FAFSA, there's nothing else you need to do. The correction will be applied to both completed and new applications. So, what's next? ▪ Make sure you submit this year's FAFSA (and CSS Profile if applicable) ▪ Watch for news about deadlines at each college you're applying to ▪ Or check with the financial aid office about new deadlines

Tell ‘em they didn’t miss it!!! Maybe you thought this too. During a recent FAFSA training held by Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable, a participant expressed frustration with the idea that the StudentAid.Gov site was off-line for maintenance on June 30th. “How does this make sense?” How were students completing the 24-25 FAFSA supposed to meet the June 30th deadline if the site was down? he asked. We were able to get to the bottom of this and correct them. Let’s dive in… Facts: the StudentAid.Gov site was off-line for maintenance on June 30, 2024 and for almost 2 more days. Also a Fact: June 30th was “a” deadline but not for the 24-25 academic year FAFSA. Only the 23-24 FAFSA year. This is one of the most misunderstood deadlines of all time. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) does have a June 30th deadline but it’s for the academic year that started that fall. Simply put, the FAFSA application is open for an 18 month window. So when June 30th hit, that was the deadline for the 23-24 academic year FAFSA, not the 24-25 academic year. (I could get into the why but that would make for a very long and not so interesting post 🙄) The Good News: Students applying for aid for the 24-25 academic year, can still complete a FAFSA up to June 30th of 2025. Let’s be clear. At the writing of this post in July 2024, it is highly likely that a student who hasn’t completed a FAFSA yet may have missed institutional, state or local college funding deadlines. But, yes, they can still get a Pell Grant, for example if they are eligible; worth up to $7,395 (and it going up) So tell them they didn’t miss it! Encourage students, who have not done so already, to complete the FAFSA ASAP! There are thousands of opportunities for assistance all across the country through organizations, businesses and states who have been funded to help this summer. If you’re in the Philadelphia, PA area check out Philadelphia College Prep Roundtable for free city wide assistance information. If you’re in the state of Delaware, check out United Way of Delaware for free assistance from Stand By Me NexGen. For other places around the country check out National College Attainment Network (NCAN) who may be able to point you toward an organization in your area. It’s not too late!

Do you know a student who dreams of pursuing higher education? Now is the time for high school seniors and returning college students to submit their 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, an application that students and families need to complete to apply for federal student aid, such as federal grants, work-study funds, and loans. The revamped FAFSA form – also known as “Better FAFSA” – takes many students less than 20 minutes to complete and can unlock up to $7,395 in federal aid that does not need to be repaid to help cover the cost of college. Share this link with students and have them submit the Better FAFSA form: https://lnkd.in/eeJaTq7 Have questions along the way?

I'm a few days behind! (APP-24-01) Final 2024–25 FAFSA Form, FAFSA Form for Incarcerated Students, and FAFSA Submission Summary 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) Form Final PDF versions of the 2024–25 FAFSA forms are now available on StudentAid.gov in both English EditSign and SpanishEditSign. The FAFSA form is used by individuals applying for federal student aid. The federal student aid application process is required to collect and process the data necessary to determine a student’s eligibility to receive Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, program assistance. The process begins with an applicant submitting a FAFSA form to the Department. 2024–25 FAFSA® Submission Summary After the FAFSA form is processed, the student will receive a FAFSA Submission Summary, which contains the answers provided on the FAFSA form and gives basic estimates about the student’s eligibility for federal student aid. Mock-ups of the final versions of the 2024–25 English and Spanish FAFSA Submission Summary are now available in PDF. The mock-ups are provided to the community as a resource that can be used as a training tool for staff or for financial aid presentations. Note: As we described in the Dec. 15, 2023 Electronic Announcement, the student will not receive a FAFSA Submission Summary until after we fully process the 2024–25 FAFSA form. https://lnkd.in/ecNAzyp6

In reality, the FAFSA delay hurts schools' enrollment management right now more than students. Aid processing delays will likely mean a longer window to accept admissions offers and that will have schools in utter panic this summer when applicants who see them as safety schools or 2nd or 3rd choices don't enroll and leave them scrambling to fill slots. #education #college #FAFSA #financialaid #policy #government #highered #admissions
Colleges won't receive student FAFSA information until March

The new FAFSA, comically called "the Better FAFSA," has been a disaster. One of the goals of revising the FAFSA was to increase the number of students eligible for Pell Grants -- federal grants awarded to low-income students. In addition to the major snafu described in this article, students whose parents are undocumented immigrants have not been able to fill out the FAFSA. The form is not considered complete and it will not submit. All US citizens are eligible to apply for federal student aid regardless of their parents' immigration status, and many low-income students have undocumented parents. At Minds Matter we are watching brilliant, high-achieving students in danger of not receiving any financial aid and we (especially the ultra diligent Frank Mackris) are working to make sure they don't fall through the cracks. What happens to the students who don't have resources who can help them navigate this broken FAFSA? It's infuriating. cc U.S. Department of Education #FAFSA #fixtheFAFSA #collegeaccess #financialaid #educationequity #pellgrant #undocumented
