Department of Education Announces Steps to Make Better FAFSA® More Readily Accessible

The U.S. Department of Education recently announced additional steps to facilitate submitting the 2024–25 FAFSA form. To date, it is estimated that nearly 4 million forms have been successfully submitted, with time to complete reduced to as little as 15 minutes. However, given ongoing challenges, the Department of Education is dedicating $50 million in funding for personnel and resources, including technical assistance and support for institutions, students, and families.
