The FAFSA asks some hard questions and each school handles their financial aid differently - it can be confusing. We've listed some FAQs here to help.
No, you will use 2022聽income and tax information on the 2024-25聽FAFSA. 2023聽information will be used when you apply for the 2025-26聽academic year; however, if you have special聽circumstances such as loss of income or high medical expenses you may submit an appeal to our office.
The most important thing to know: the earlier you apply, the better! Schools usually provide a "priority date" which is a date they recommend you complete the FAFSA by so you don't miss out on funding you could have been eligible for.
If that timeline isn't possible for you - it's ok! You can still apply for financial aid well into the semester. We recommend you speak to a financial aid counselor about your specific timeline.
Nope. Our FAFSA school code is 001370. List us and we'll get your FAFSA when the time is right!
If you choose the Renewal FAFSA option when you start your application, some basic information from your 2022鈥�23聽FAFSA will be prepopulated in your 2023鈥�24聽FAFSA. However, you should review all information and be prepared to answer tax questions based on two years prior (i.e. 2022聽for 2024-25).
The FAFSA asks for marital status 鈥渁s of today鈥� (the day it鈥檚 filled out). So if the student or parent is married now but wasn鈥檛 in 2022聽(and therefore didn鈥檛 file taxes as married), the spouse鈥檚 income will need to be added to the FAFSA. The help text in the FAFSA will provide more information for these situations.
