一些变化包括:

发布日期

《在线电子游戏网赌》于2023年12月发布.

FSA ID

Everyone will need an FSA ID, including parents without a social security number. 然而, 从2024-25年FAFSA开始, students and parents will not be able to access the FAFSA form without an FSA ID set up prior to starting the form. Please note that it will take 1 to 3 days for an FSA ID to go through the verification process.

父母不是美国人.S. 公民或居民也需要创建一个FSA ID.

申请人将被要求使用美国国税局直接数据交换

以前, users had the option to enter their tax information manually or use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. 从2024-25年开始, all persons on the FAFSA must provide consent for the Department of Education to receive tax information or confirmation of non-filing status directly from the IRS. 在极少数情况下, 学生和家庭将不得不手动输入他们的税务数据, 但对大多数人来说, 该数据将自动传输到应用程序中. This change makes it easier to complete the FAFSA and reduces the number of questions to be answered.

所有出资人必须提供财务信息

A contributor—a new term being introduced on the 2024-25 FAFSA—refers to anyone who is required to provide information on a student's form (such as a parent/stepparent or spouse). A student's or parent's answers on the FAFSA will determine which contributors (if any) will be required to provide information.

Contributors will receive an email informing them that they've been identified as such, and will need to log in using their own FSA ID (if they don't already have one) to provide the required information on the student's FAFSA.

Being a contributor does not mean they are financially responsible for the student's education costs, but it does mean the contributor must provide information on the FAFSA or the application will be incomplete and the student will not be eligible for federal student aid.

FAFSA上的大学数量

学生可以在FAFSA上列出20所大学. 以前, the FAFSA only allowed students to list up to 10 colleges and universities. 考虑申请北卡州的援助, please list a North Carolina 4 year public college or community college in the top three.

The Student Aid Index (SAI) is replacing the Expected Family Contribution (EFC)

A notable terminology update within the new FAFSA is the replacement of the term Expected Family Contribution (EFC) with the Student Aid Index (SAI). This name more accurately describes the number used to determine aid eligibility and, 不像EFC, SAI可以是负数,低至-1500. SAI将用于计算基于需要的经济援助.

在大学里的数字不会被用来计算SAI

以前, the FAFSA calculated the number of household members attending college into the EFC, 按比例分配以确定联邦援助资格. 从2024-25年FAFSA开始, 该应用程序仍然会询问有多少家庭成员在上大学, 但你的回答不会被计算进SAI. As such, students with siblings in college may see a change in their federal aid eligibility.

一些学生将自动获得佩尔助学金

Families making less than 175% and single parents making less than 225% of the 联邦贫困水平 会看到他们的学生得到最高的分数吗 联邦佩尔助学金 奖. Minimum Pell Grants will be guaranteed to students from households below 275%, 325%, 350%, 或者是贫困线的400%, 取决于家庭结构. 佩尔奖学金的最高和最低金额将由SAI决定.

The parent responsible for submitting the FAFSA in cases of divorce or separation has changed

依赖学生, financial information was previously needed from the parent(s) the student had lived with the most in the last 12 months. 有了新的FAFSA, financial information will be required from the parent(s) who provided the most financial support to the student regardless of where the student resided in the last 12 months.

计算佩尔助学金时,入学类别会发生变化

以前, 佩尔助学金基于全日制(12小时或以上), 四分之三课时(9-11学时), half-time (6-8 credit hours) or less-than-half-time (1-5 credit hours) enrollment statuses. 为 2024-2025, the enrollment statuses will be replaced with a new term called “enrollment intensity.”

Enrollment intensity is the percentage of full-time enrollment at which a student is enrolled, 四舍五入到最接近的整数百分比. 例如, if full-time enrollment is 12 or more credit hours and the student is enrolled in 7 credit hours, 入组强度为(7 / 12)× 100% = 58%.

2024-2025年及以后的奖励年度, a student’s scheduled Pell Grant 奖 is multiplied by the student’s enrollment intensity percentage to determine the Annual Pell Grant Award.

全年佩尔助学金的变化

以前, a Pell Grant-eligible student must have been enrolled at least half-time in a payment period during which they received more than 100% of their scheduled 奖. Beginning 2024-2025, the new change removes the half-time enrollment requirement.

家庭规模

家庭规模 (not household size anymore) will be based on the number of people claimed as exemptions on federal tax forms filed for the people reported on the FAFSA. There will be an option to modify that number if it is no longer an accurate reflection of family size.

家庭农场和小企业必须作为资产申报

When required, families must now report the value of their small business or family farm. 家庭农场包括主要居住地的, applicants should determine the total net value of all farm assets and subtract the net value of their principal residence to determine the final value of their farm assets.
