New FAFSA 2024-25!

Federal Student Aid (FSA) The 2024-25 FAFSA is now available. Sweeping changes have been made to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 school year and beyond. These changes include updated application questions, financial need calculations, as well as the FAFSA platform itself. 

Remember, you should file the FAFSA as early as possible after it is released – some institutions have very early FAFSA deadlines – check with your school's Financial Aid Office to find out. Some programs may have later deadlines. The priority deadline to file the FAFSA for the Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) and the Alaska Education Grant (AEG) is June 30.
