The Department of Education quietly announced that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be open for all families to complete as of November 18, 2024, as it wraps up final beta testing.
While the official opening date is set for December 1, the Department of Education is wanting more families to start the process while it ensures there are no issues. So, while all families can start the FAFAS process as of today, it’s important to remember that this is still the end of beta testing, and some issues may arise.
Families who want to start filling out the FAFSA now can start the process here: StudentAid.gov
