2024-25 FAFSA

The 2024-25 Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) is now available to complete through StudentAid.Gov. The new year's FAFSA comes with a variety of changes included a massive reduction in the number of overall questions, you will no longer be able to report parental information as an independent student (even if you wanted to) and your all of your tax filing information (or non-filing information if you did not file) will be automatically transferred in once you give consent. You must provide consent in order to complete the FAFSA and be eligible for federal financial aid.

 

Please note that 2024-25 Financial Aid packaging will be delayed to late April or early May due to the Department of Education's delays with the FAFSA. Our office will be receiving FAFSAs 5 months later than usual and will be working as fast as possible to get all of our students a financial aid award package. Should you have any questions or concerns, please email HSCFinAid@UToledo. We sincerely apprecaite your patience and understanding during this unprecedented year!
