The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 academic year is now available periodically through a soft launch period.
 

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOFT LAUNCH

  • Students may be unable to access the FAFSA due to periods of maintenance downtime throughout January. The form is expected to be fully available later in January and February. There is still plenty of time to submit the FAFSA before the March 15th priority deadline.
  • Although students may be able to complete the form, FSA will not transmit their FAFSA to any institution until late January.
  • Upon submission, students will receive a confirmation email noting their submission date, estimated Student Aid Index (SAI), and estimated Federal Pell Grant eligibility.
  • Students will receive an email when their FAFSA Submission Summary is available to view online.

Learn more about the soft launch period here.

All students and parents contributing to the FAFSA will need an FSA ID. If they don't already have one, they can create an account here

(This information is from an email from Texas Tech's Undergraduate Office, but would apply to any student attending any college.)

The IRS Data Retrieval Tool 

FAFSA cycle, tax return information transferred from the IRS into fafsa.gov now has stronger security and privacy protections.

  • As a result, the tax information transferred from the IRS does not display on the IRS DRT web page, in the FAFSA form, or on the Student Aid Report.
  • Instead of the user's tax information being displayed, the phrase "Transferred from the IRS" appears in the appropriate fields on fafsa.gov.
