Federal Student Aid (FSA) is making sweeping changes to the FAFSA for the 2024-2025 school year. These changes include updated application questions, financial need calculations, as well as the FAFSA platform itself. The new FAFSA will not be launched until December 2023, instead of October 1st. Please visit acpe.alaska.gov/alaskafafsacompletion for FAFSA updates.
On April 1, 2023, the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE) transferred the servicing of all ACPE’s Education Loans to American Education Services (AES).

Together, ACPE and AES will support Alaskans by providing tools and resources to streamline education loan repayment. For account information or to make a payment, please contact the AES Customer Service Center at 1-800-233-0557. For more information, please review these frequently asked questions.
