2024-25 FAFSA Update
The 2024-25 FAFSA is needed for current students who will be attending summer 2024 and for new students starting fall 2024. The U.S. Department of Education has made major, substantive changes to the FAFSA and to the process, which is why this year the FAFSA, new software and processes are later than usual. It is probable that applicants and their families will experience some confusion and discomfort by the dramatically changed form and process.
Scheduled, Estimated Timeline (these estimated dates could change, hopefully sooner)
- The 2024-25 FAFSA is currently scheduled to be available by Dec. 31, 2023
- SFI (and all schools) will see the new software used to receive and process FAFSAs by Jan. 31, 2024
- SFI (and all schools) will be able to start seeing the results of FAFSAs starting Jan. 31, 2024
- The anticipated date for SFI financial aid offer letters to start being sent is Feb. 29, 2024 (maybe sooner, as possible)
