The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is getting revamped for the 2024-25 school year to fulfill legislation passed in 2020 aimed to make student aid easier to get. The goal is to make the process easier by reducing the number of questions and providing a better way to import income data from tax records.
