• 弄清楚你的父母或配偶是否需要供款 (在你的FAFSA表格上提供他们的信息).

FAFSA的一些变化包括:

• The new FAFSA is a more streamlined and shorter form and has 46 questions. Because this form is dynamic, some students will be presented with less than 46 questions.
• 学生最多可以列出20所学院和大学. 之前，这个数字是10.
• 目前，FAFSA只提供英语和西班牙语版本. 2024 - 2025年 application will be expanded to include the 11 most common languages.
• 看 “准备FAFSA表格” playlist to understand what information and documents you’ll need to fill out the FAFSA form.

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is being replaced by the Student Aid Index (SAI). The SAI is a number that’s used to determine eligibility for need-based aid. 它是使用学生(和贡献者)的信息来计算的, (如果需要)在FAFSA表格上提供. 学生的SAI可以是负数，小到-1500. SAI is replacing EFC because the term EFC created some confusion in the past and SAI more accurately reflects student’s need-based eligibility.

Financial need = 出勤费用 (COA) – Student Aid Index (SAI) – Other Financial Assistance (OFA)

为 依赖学生, financial information will be required from the parent(s) who provided the most financial support to the student in the 12 months before filing the FAFSA. 以前, financial information was needed from the parent(s) the student had lived with the most in the last 12 months.

• “贡献者”是2024-25年度表格中引入的一个新术语.
• A contributor is anyone who is required to provide a signature on the FAFSA form as well as provide consent and approval to have their federal tax information transferred from the IRS directly into the form via direct data exchange.
• 这包括学生本人，也可能包括学生的配偶, 亲生父母或养父母, 或者父母的配偶(继父母).
• Non-adoptive祖父母, 养父母, 法定监护人, 兄弟姐妹, 还有叔叔阿姨, even if they helped provide for or raise the student are not contributors
