2024-25 FAFSA Updates

Because of significant U.S. Department of Education processing delays, student’s FAFSA data has just been delayed until April.  Husson anticipates awarding students beginning in mid-May.   Students interested in receiving a financial aid estimate can visit our Net Price Calculator.  We thank our students and families for your patience during this transition period for the new FAFSA.

The FAFSA Simplification Act, approved by Congress in 2020, stands as a substantial revamp of the mechanisms and infrastructure employed in the allocation of federal student assistance. This encompasses modifications to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, alterations in the need assessment process used to establish eligibility for federal aid, shifts in terminology, and numerous policy and procedural adjustments for educational institutions engaged in federal student aid initiatives.

When should I submit my application for the 2024-25 FAFSA?

New students intending to start their classes at Husson in the fall of 2024 should aim to fill out the FAFSA as soon as it's accessible in December. As for returning Husson students, it's advisable to complete the FAFSA by the priority deadline of April 15th. You can find more details about the application process for both undergraduate and graduate students on our website.
