2025 2025 Fafsa Application. This guide is intended for college financial aid administrators and counselors who help students with the financial aid process—completing the free application for federal student aid (fafsa ®) form, verifying information, and making corrections and other changes to the information reported on the fafsa form. States and colleges also use fafsa information to award their own financial aid packages.

The important dates are listed in chronological order by month, with the newest information listed first. The education department announced today that the form is out of beta testing and ready for families to use.
