2024-25 FAFSA processing has been delayed
Due to continuing maintenance, the Department of Education has announced that schools will not receive applicant FAFSA data until the first half of March.
Our new and continuing students will be affected in several ways, the most immediate being that aid packages will be delayed. The financial aid department anticipates packaging student financial aid after FAFSAs are processed by the Department of Education, and we will provide more detailed timelines as we get closer to receiving FAFSA information.
High school seniors may be having difficulties selecting their school without all necessary financial information available to them, so it is all the more important that we live out our Be Known Promise with our applicants.
Additionally, while our continuing students can expect to receive the same institutional aid next year, their federal and state aid will be determined by their new FAFSA information. Applicants will also not be able to make corrections on their FAFSAs until they are processed.
The financial aid department will continue to keep students updated throughout the spring, and in the meantime, we are encouraging students to apply for institutional and external scholarships. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at finaid@georgefox.edu.
