2024-2025 FAFSA Changes

The FAFSA is changing for the 2024–2025 aid year due to the passing of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Simplification Act on December 27, 2020, as a part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. The 2024–2025 FAFSA determines your financial aid eligibility for the fall 2024, spring 2025, and summer 2025 terms. We will continue to update this page as additional information becomes available.

Visit the FAFSA Simplification page for more information.

The FAFSA is your application for federal grants and loans, the state of Illinois MAP grant as well as institutional need-based resources.

Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid

The 2024-2025 Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid is open to applicants. This application is for undocumented Illinois residents who are ineligible to file the FAFSA.
