- 2024-2025 FAFSA FAQ's
- We will begin loading 2024-2025 FAFSA data into our Student Information System (SIS) in mid-May. There was a delay the United States Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid experienced in sending that data to all institutions. We are currently working with our SIS vendor for required critical updates and fixes, and we will then complete a thorough testing before loading files in the non-test database. We anticipate communicating more information about the FAFSA results and next steps in mid-May, with awarding to begin late May or early June.

Virginians who are nonimmigrants, undocumented, have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status or are otherwise ineligible to file the FAFSA and would like to be considered for state financial aid. The VASA application provides access only to state financial aid.
