FAFSA Simplification
What are some important things for me to know?
The FAFSA application opens November 21st for the 2025-2026 year
The 2025-2026 FAFSA application will be based on the 2023 tax year. Consider gathering your 2023 tax documents so you are ready once the application opens!
Curious on what aid you might be eligible for? Use the Department of Education's Federal
Student Aid Estimator
to consider your specific circumstances.
Terminology you may see on the 2025-2026 FAFSA.
Student Aid Index (SAI): replaces the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as a formal evaluation of a student's approximate financial resources to contribute toward their postsecondary education for a specific award year
Direct Data Exchange (DDX): system used to transfer individuals' tax information to determine federal aid eligibility (replaces the IRS data retrieval tool DRT).
Contributor: any individual required to provide consent and approval for federal tax information (FTI) along with their signature on the FAFSA form, including the student; the student's spouse; a biological or adoptive parent; or the parent's spouse (stepparent)
