FAFSA News Update (February 2024)
February 2, 2024
|
The Department of Education has begun its "soft launch" of the newly designed 2024-2025 FAFSA. At this time the FAFSA is now available 24/7, however there are several known form issues that may prevent certain users from completing their submission. Additionally, the Department has announced that FAFSA submissions will not be sent to student's selected colleges until March 2024 - causing a delay of updating your student account by several months. |

What does this mean for you?
If you can complete the FAFSA now, you will not need to resubmit the form once the "soft launch" period ends.
Please be aware that the Department of Education is working to resolve the form issues preventing various users from completing their FAFSA. We advise to revisit the FAFSA web page often to continue you application once corrections have been implemented.
Due to the delay in receiving your FAFSA submission, our Student Financial Aid office cannot confirm that your FAFSA has been received until late March or April.
Don't worry. We will send out email communications to your student ACES email once we have received your FAFSA so that you stay informed of your progress.
If you need further assistance, please visit our office or contact us by phone at 210-21ALAMO (210-212-5266).
