2024-2025 Special FAFSA Alert

The Department of Education has launched the 2024-2025 FAFSA, but please note that there may be system outages for maintenance due to significant improvements to the application.

You can make corrections to your 2024-25 FAFSA once it's processed, which is expected to start in mid-March.

You'll receive your FAFSA Submission Summary (formerly known as the Student Aid Report) after your FAFSA is processed, also beginning in mid-March.

As for processing or award information from Waubonsee for the 2024-2025 academic year, we anticipate communicating with students about their status in mid to late April 2024.

Lastly, for students currently attending, you can still file the 2023-2024 FAFSA for attendance through the Summer 2024 term. The 2024-2025 FAFSA will apply to terms starting with Fall 2024.

Extra Help for Eligible Students
