Pro Tips for the 2024–25 FAFSA® Form | Federal Student Aid
谢谢您的耐心等待. 我们将更新这一信息,因为更多的细节由 U.S. Department of Education.
FAFSA Simplification
The FAFSA Simplification Act represents a significant overhaul of the processes and systems used to award federal student aid starting with the 2024–25 award year. This includes the 联邦学生免费申请 Aid (FAFSA®) form, need calculation, and many policies and procedures for schools that participate in federal student aid programs.
从历史上看,FAFSA每年10月1日开始发放. However, because of significant changes to the application and the rebuild of the FAFSA processing system, the Department of Education has indicated that students will be able to complete the 2024-25 FAFSA by December 31st and schools will begin receiving FAFSA data by January 31st.
简化申请程序
The new FAFSA will feature fewer questions, fewer requirements, and retrieve tax information using a direct data exchange from the IRS instead of the previous IRS Data Retrieval Tool.
Consent to Exchange Tax Information From the IRS
Rather than importing tax information into the FAFSA using the previously used IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT), contributors will now consent to transfer their tax information through the IRS Direct Data Exchange (DDX). This will reduce the number of financial questions that most families will see on the FAFSA.
The student and all contributors must provide this consent and approval on the FAFSA in order to be eligible for federal student aid. 提供同意甚至适用于没有社会安全号码的投稿人, didn't file 2022 taxes, 或者在美国境外报税的人.
New Terminology
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will now be referred to as the Student Aid Index (SAI). 新公式将家庭成员在大学的人数从计算中剔除, 允许最小SAI为-1500, 并对联邦佩尔助学金实施单独的资格确定标准.
新的FAFSA引入了这个术语 contributor, 是指需要在学生的FAFSA表格上提供信息的人吗, including the student, the student’s spouse, 亲生父母或养父母, or the parent’s spouse. 作为一个贡献者并不意味着对学生的大学费用负责.

扩大佩尔助学金资格
Federal Pell Grant eligibility is expanded to more students and will link eligibility to family size and the federal poverty level.
Prepare for the FAFSA
Create an FSA ID on the 联邦学生援助网站 并协助供款人(例如你的父母或配偶)设立一个FSA ID.
If you already have an FSA ID, there is no need to create a new one. 您现有的FSA ID将继续工作.
Other Important Changes
- FAFSA将把问题的上限从108个减少到46个. And because the FAFSA on the Web is dynamic, some students won't even be presented with all 46 questions. This streamlined format will simplify the application process and make it less daunting for students and their families.
- Students may now send their FAFSA to up to 20 colleges
- The FAFSA will be expanded to the 11 most common languages spoken by English learner students and their parents
- Language-specific resources and support will also be available from FSA Information Center
- 一旦FAFSA启动, students will now be able to view the status, 包括贡献者的进度, on their FSA account
- 一旦所有所需的数据已提供,所有部分已签署, 任何投稿人都可以提交FAFSA表格
- 在FAFSA表格被处理后, a contributor is able to correct or update only their sections of the student’s application
- Previously, users had the option to enter their tax information manually or use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Beginning with 2024-25, 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, students and families will have to enter their tax data manually, but for most, that data will be automatically transferred into the application. This change makes it easier to complete the FAFSA and reduces the number of questions to be answered.
- For dependent students, financial information was previously needed from the parent(s) the student had lived with the most in the last 12 months. With the new FAFSA, financial information will be required from the parent(s) who provided the most financial support to the student.
- When required, families must now report the value of their small business or family farm. If the family farm includes the principal place of residence, 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.
- FAFSA表格的结果以文件形式发送给申请人,现在被称为FAFSA表格 FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS), with it formerly being called the Student Aid Report (SAR)
- FAFSA将增加一项人口统计数据调查,其中包含与种族有关的问题, ethnicity, and gender. The survey will have no effect on federal student aid eligibility and is used only for statistical purposes.

How to Complete the FAFSA
Step 1: Get a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID at the U.S. government's 联邦学生援助网站
FSA ID是用户选择的用户名和密码,允许您:
- Complete and sign the FAFSA electronically
- 检查你的FAFSA结果并在线更正申请
Since the FSA ID is user specific, parents must request their own FSA ID in order to sign the FAFSA.
New for 2024-25
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.
投稿人将收到一封电子邮件,告知他们已被确认为投稿人, 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.
Step 2: File Your FAFSA
请务必提交与你将要就读的学年相对应的FAFSA. For example, students starting in Summer 2024 or Fall 2024 should submit the 2024-2025 FAFSA. Make sure to list St. 爱德华的联邦学校代码,003621,在申请的学校发布部分.

What is Verification?
If you are selected for verification, you are not alone! About 30% of FAFSA filers are selected for the verification process.
The U.S. 教育部随机抽取学生进行核实. ED requires schools to collect documentation to check the accuracy of the FAFSA information. If selected, the verification process must be completed before financial aid can be disbursed. Please note, 如果对FAFSA进行了更正, 即使原始应用程序没有,也可以选择它进行验证.
A federally mandated process to confirm the accuracy of data provided by selected applicants on the FAFSA. 完成验证过程, the student, their parent(s), or spouse, if applicable, are required to provide certain documents to the school for review. If the documentation the student provides the institution doesn't match what was reported on the FAFSA, 验证可能会导致学生的经济援助资格发生变化, 和/或经济援助.
当选择进行验证时, the student will be notified through their FAFSA and/or SEU email, 以及通过他们的学生门户网站, myHilltop在那里,他们被指示解决未解决的财政援助要求. 学生应上传所需的验证文件 secured portal. We encourage students to submit outstanding requirements by July 1 in order for proper and timely processing of their financial aid.
IRS Data Retrieval Process
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) is available through the FAFSA! We highly recommend using this secure method to import student and parent tax information from the IRS into your FAFSA application.
Using DRT speeds up the verification process and can eliminate the need for extra paperwork.
根据报税方式的不同,IRS DRT可能不是一个选择. If selected for verification and ineligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, a copy of the tax RETURN TRANSCRIPT will be required. 注:美国国税局对纳税申报表上的关键识别信息进行了编辑, such as full names of parents and dependents, so it is imperative to have them sent to you first; after adding student information, 你应该把它们交给我们办公室.
There are four options for obtaining a tax RETURN TRANSCRIPT.
- You can get your free transcripts immediately online.
- Go to IRS.gov and use the Get Transcript tool.
- 你也可以通过电话联系他们.
- 拨打800-908-9946并按照提示操作.
- Using the mobile app.
- Download the IRS2Go mobile phone app on your smartphone 按照说明来做.
- You can receive transcripts by mail or by fax (within five to 10 days from the time IRS receives your request).

PLEASE NOTE:
在向我们的办公室上传或提交任何文件时,我们要求您列出 student’s full name and St. Edward’s ID number 在文档的右上角. Failure to provide this information will lengthen processing time and may prevent us from processing your document entirely.
Important Tips for Completing the Verification Process
- 完整填写所有要求的表格:不要留下任何问题空白. All questions must have an answer even if it is a "0".
- Be sure required signatures have been provided.签名不应该打印.
- Submitting your FAFSA early and completing verification is required before aid can be applied to the student’s account. 每年10月1日,FAFSA将为即将到来的学年开放.

Special and Unusual Circumstances (Professional Judgment)
Special and Unusual Circumstances (Professional Judgment)
我们认识到,FAFSA可能并不总是准确地反映您的财务状况. Although considerations for specific situations are limited, we may be able to give additional consideration for situations. The FAFSA Simplification Act distinguishes between different categories of professional judgment by amending section 479A of the HEA.
-
Special Circumstances refer to the financial situations (loss of a job, etc.) that justify an aid administrator adjusting data elements in the COA or in the EFC calculation.
-
Unusual Circumstances refer to the conditions that justify an aid administrator making an adjustment to a student’s dependency status based on a unique situation (e.g., human trafficking, refugee or asylee status, parental abandonment, incarceration), more commonly referred to as a dependency override.
特殊情况上诉 will be considered after you receive your initial award notification for the current aid year. 特殊情况的考虑可能需要顾问核实税务文件. 此外,可能还需要提供与该情况有关的其他文件. Submitting a special circumstance request does not guarantee an adjustment will be made to your aid offer.
Please contact your 学生资助顾问 看看你的情况是否属于可以考虑的情况. If approved, any additional funding awarded may only available for the academic school year for which the special circumstance is approved. Special circumstances must be reviewed annually.
Examples of Special Circumstances/Professional Judgment Considered
- Loss or reduction of income (layoff, illness, forced reduction of hours, temporary employment, etc.)
- 灾难性的医疗或牙科费用
- Death, divorce, or separation of parents or spouse
- 在FAFSA纳税年度内收到的不会重复的非经常性付款
- Loss of benefits, such as unemployment, disability, social security, veterans, child support, or alimony
不考虑特殊情况/专业判断的例子
- 标准生活费用增加.
- 购买物质物品,如汽车、家用电器、度假、第二套房子等.
- Reduction of assets. Changes in assets will be reflected on the following year's FAFSA.
- 信用问题,信用额度变化,以前的学生贷款债务等.
- Medical bills paid by health insurance or that will be reimbursed by health care coverage.
None of the Above
- My situation is unique and does not include the above situations.
The Special Circumstance Appeal form is available by request only. If you feel you have a special circumstance, contact your 学生资助顾问 for further guidance.
异常情况(依赖)
When determining a student’s unusual circumstances, or in verifying homeless or foster youth statuses, schools must ensure that any supporting documentation they collect is adequate to substantiate the student’s— and, as applicable, 父母或配偶的情况. If you feel you have a unusual circumstance, contact your 学生资助顾问 for further guidance.

Students are responsible for reporting taxable award payments along with any other payments they receive, and for remitting any tax due with their personal income tax return. (Foreign students who are non-resident aliens will receive a Form 1042-S reporting taxable stipends. U.S. withholding tax may apply.) Students should maintain a record of the award payments received during the calendar year (January 1 to December 31). 收到的年度付款总额也可以从他们的学生账户中获得. Please note: University staff cannot advise students in tax matters. If students need tax guidance, they should consult with a qualified tax specialist or a CPA firm.
