College Office News: What We Recommend Students and Families Do Now
All students and contributors to the FAFSA need to create the Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) at Create Account | Federal Student Aid. The FSA ID must be created and verified before the individual can access the FAFSA. We recommend that all students and contributors complete the FSA ID process now.
Contributor is a new term introduced on the 2024-25 FAFSA form. It refers to everyone that will need to provide information on a student’s FAFSA form (the student, the student’s spouse, biological or adoptive parent(s), stepparent).
The redesigned 2024-25 FAFSA form will be available by December 31, 2023.
