BREAKING NEWS
---------------

A Simpler FAFSA is Coming!
The 2024-2025 FAFSA is going through major changes to have fewer questions and be easier to complete. However, the new 2024-2025 FAFSA will not be available until December of 2023. See our webpage about FAFSA SIMPLIFICATION for more information on the updates and how you can prepare before the new application is released.
You may still complete a 2023-2024 FAFSA for financial aid eligibility for the Fall term. Go to studentaid.gov to complete the form as soon as possible.
Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship: For the 2023-2024 academic year (starting fall 2023) a new requirement was added in which all applicants must have an Expected Family Contribution from the FAFSA form at or below $20,000 to qualify for the award. For more information see the Iowa College Aid Last-Dollar Scholarship page.
