FAFSA Time is ComingThough historically available October 1 for the upcoming award year, the 2024-25 FAFSA will not be made available by the U.S. Department of Education until sometime in December 2023. The delay is due to major changes and improvements coming to the 2024-25 FAFSA, which will result in a more streamlined application process with fewer questions and expand eligibility for federal student aid. Visit UofL’s 2024-2025 FAFSA Simplification Act website for additional information on how the application process is changing. Make Sure to End this Semester SuccessfullyThe semester is almost over.
