When Was the FAFSA for the 2024-2025 School Year Open?
The opening date for the 2024-2025 FAFSA application was December 31, 2023.
It’s important to note that while the FAFSA form itself has a deadline of June 30th each year, many universities have their own deadlines for receiving and considering FAFSA information.
Be sure to check with the financial aid office at each school you’re applying to to make sure you meet all of their deadlines.
You can usually find this information on the school’s financial aid office website or by contacting them directly.
