USF Health Office of Financial Aid
THE 2024-2025 FAFSA IS NOW AVAILABLE
Great news! You can now access the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) since its release in December 2023. Don't miss out—complete your FAFSA today!
The U.S. Department of Education is currently making a correction in the aid formula. This correction will result in more students receiving need-based aid, but this fix will take time. Unfortunately, this means the U.S. Department of Education will not be releasing FAFSA data to any higher education institution until approximately mid-March.
