What is staying the same

What’s staying the same with fafsa?

Students must still complete a FAFSA to be considered for any federal and/or state grants. You must fill out a new FAFSA every year. 

If you and/or a parent have already created a FSA ID, you can continue to use the one created. Your username does not expire, but your password expires every 18 months if you haven’t changed it.

Prior-year tax information is still requested. For the new 2024-2025 FAFSA, you will report your 2022 income and assets. Families with significant reductions in income will still be able to submit a Reconsideration Request appeal.
