The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has changed significantly for the 2024-25 academic year.<\/p>\n
Some of the biggest changes include:<\/p>\n
\u201cUCF has established a date by which we prefer that students complete the FAFSA for maximum consideration for financial aid. By filing by the priority filing date, students increase their likelihood of getting the most comprehensive financial aid package available,\u201d says Karemah Manselle, interim director of the Office of Student Financial Assistance. \u201cWe want everyone to be aware of the opportunity to fill out the FAFSA now. What students can do right now is submit the FAFSA so that they are in the first batch to be processed, and then get the best student aid package available.\u201d<\/p>\n
COMPLETE YOUR FAFSA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As a reminder, current and incoming students seeking financial aid need to complete the FAFSA every academic year.
