The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA ) has undergone the first major redesign in over 40 years thanks to the FAFSA Simplification Act and the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act. Changes and updates to the backend systems that process and store federal student aid application data have taken place as well. The goal is to make applying for federal student aid easier for students and parents.

The benefits of FAFSA simplification include:
• a more streamlined application process,
• Expanded eligibility for federal student aid,
• reduced barriers for certain student populations (e.g., homeless and unaccompanied youth, incarcerated students, English language learners, and students from low-income backgrounds), and
• a better user experience for the FAFSA form.

In this video, we mention the top 6 financial changes that can impact your family contribution.

The Federal Student Aid Office touts a better FAFSA Better Future for students and parents with this newly redesigned FAFSA.
