传入的, full-time 本科 students who plan to start in Fall 2024 will receive their financial aid offer within two weeks of 十大网络彩票平台大全 receiving their FAFSA.  All returning students for Fall 2024 should expect to receive their financial aid offer later this summer.

FAFSA简化: What it Means for You

FAFSA简化 & FUTURE Act was passed by Congress in December 2020. The intent of the legislation was to make the financial aid process and eligibility for Federal Pell grants more predictable for low-income students, reduce the number of FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student 援助) Form questions, streamline the calculation of financial need, expand federal aid eligibility for specific populations and, ultimately improve educational outcomes for low-income students. 

While some provisions of the legislation went into effect for the 2023-2024 academic year, most will be implemented for the 2024-2025 academic year (Summer 2024/Fall 2024/Spring 2025).  

FAFSA的简化对你意味着什么? 

  1. The FAFSA for the upcoming academic year typically becomes available at fafsa.10月1日.  仅适用于2024-2025学年, the FAFSA will be delayed and will open online by December 31, 2023. 大专院校, 然而, will not begin to receive students' 2024-2025 FAFSA records from the U.S. Department of Education until mid to late March.  此外，美国.S. Department of Education is estimating students will not be able to make corrections to their submitted 2024-2025 FAFSA's until late March while schools will be able to make corrections/updates in the weeks following. 
  2. Beginning with the 2024-25 year, the FAFSA will be less complex. The number of questions will be reduced from 108 to approximately 36 and prior-prior year federal tax information will be automatically transferred from the IRS database. All parties whose information will be on the FAFSA (example: parent, step-parent) must provide consent to have their federal tax information transferred. 另外, all individuals that provide information on the FAFSA must each have their own FSA ID (ex. -in the case of a dependent student, the student, and each parent must now have their own FSA ID).  Individuals should each apply for an FSA ID at http://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch if they do not have one already in advance of filing the FAFSA.
  3. 从历史上看, the FAFSA calculated a student's EFC (Expected Family Contribution), an indicator of the student's financial need that was used to determine eligibility for need-based federal, 国家和神圣家族援助.  最明显的是, a student's EFC had to be below a specific threshold to qualify for the Federal Pell Grant, SEOG和PA州补助金. The EFC is being replaced with the SAI (Student 援助 Index). Federal Pell Grant eligibility will now be determined by family size and family income as it ties to the federal poverty level. You can calculate your SAI and determine Federal Pell Grant eligibility using the U.S. 教育部的SAI计算器在 http://studentaid.gov/aid-estimator/ .
  4. The EFC (Expected Family Contribution) was calculated based on five primary factors: household size, 在校人数, prior-prior year taxable and untaxable income and assets, 对学生和, 供独立学生使用, 他们的父母(年代). The SAI will no longer consider most sources of untaxed income. The SAI will also not consider the 在校人数.  This could impact a student's eligibility for need-based financial aid (i.e.pell Grant, SEOG, PA州补助金, 联邦工作研究, the subsidy on the Federal Direct Student Loan).  Holy Family will roll out a special circumstances/appeal process in the spring for students that may be impacted by these changes.
  5. 在过去, 适用于离异或分居家庭, the custodial parent (typically the parent the student lived with) provided their information on the FAFSA.  从2024-25年FAFSA开始, the parent who provided the greatest financial support (regardless of living arrangements) will be required to list their information on the FAFSA.  If financial support is split 50/50 between both parents, the parent who has the higher income is required to provide their financial information on the FAFSA. 

Holy Family’s financial aid office is happy to assist you with the financial aid application process should questions arise.  Additional information can also be found at Federal Student 援助 - http://studentaid.gov/help-center/answers/article/fafsa-simplification-act.
