Here is an update on the FAFSA Changes For 2024-25. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will see the majority of changes starting in the 2024-25 academic year and not in the 2023-24 year that was originally planned. The U.S. Department of Education delayed most of the changes to the 2024-25 academic year due to the fact that 52% of higher education schools have not yet begun to prepare for the significant modifications coming to FAFSA.
