Simplification FAQs
FAFSA simplification changes include the first major redesign of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process in over 40 years, along with updates to the backend systems that process and store federal student aid application data. The goal is to make applying for federal student aid easier for students. FAFSA simplification implements provisions of the amended Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act and the FAFSA Simplification Act.
The Better FAFSA Better Future campaign will communicate FAFSA simplification changes and provide information and resources to aid in the adaptation of these changes.
The benefits of FAFSA simplification include:
Significant changes to the application process include changes to the FAFSA form, how students and families complete the application, and the eligibility calculation.
New requirements and calculations will modify the roles and responsibilities for schools.
Notable changes include:
FAFSA simplification will be implemented in phases. Certain changes began in the 2021-2022 Award Year and full implementation of major provisions will occur during the 2024-2025 Award Year.
