The U.S. 教育部做了很多 changes and simplifications to the FAFSA this year. 以下是一些主要的更新:

  • The form was simplified,减少了你需要回答的问题数量

  • The student, their spouse, and all parents/guardians with tax data being reported must have their own FSA ID/StudentAid.gov account

  • Access was expanded for Federal Pell Grants

  • 较高入息保障津贴 will result in lower expectations for student or family income to be able to pay for college

  • 家庭现在被要求这样做 报告他们农场或企业的价值, 这将影响联邦援助的计算方式

  • There is 不再是兄弟姐妹在大学里的福利—the FAFSA will no longer consider the number of individuals in a household attending college when determining the amount of aid

第一步是确保每个人都有自己的助学金.gov account/FSA ID. 学生和所有贡献者都需要自己的账户, so setting these up in advance will streamline your ability to fill out the FAFSA. 

  1. 如果你没有提交2023-24年的FAFSA表格,一定要提交 create your StudentAid.gov account. Remember your username and password so you can fill out the 2024-25 FAFSA when it opens!

  2. Find out if your parents/guardians or spouse will need to be contributors based on your dependency status

  3. If your parents/guardians or spouse will need to contribute to your form, make sure each contributor 创建自己的学生援助.gov account
If the student is a dependent and their parents/guardians filed taxes jointly, 只需要一个父母作为供款人,并需要一个FSA ID. 如果学生的父母/监护人没有共同报税, 两者都被认为是贡献者,必须有自己的FSA id. 

您将使用2022年的税务信息填写2024-25年的FAFSA.

FAFSA通常使用上一年的税务信息. 尽管FAFSA今年的开放时间比往年晚, 确保你使用了2022年的纳税信息.
