A new, simplified Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form is coming in December
​
Beginning with 2024-25, all persons on the FAFSA will be required to use the IRS Direct Data Exchange to share tax information or confirm non-filing status. This change makes it easier to complete the FAFSA and reduces the number of questions to be answered. All "contributors" must provide financial information
Starting with the class of 2024, Indiana requires that all Senior students, regardless of their post-secondary plans, complete the FAFSA Application.
