Dear Chattanooga State Community,

I have some important news about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which has undergone significant changes for the 2024-2025 FAFSA. It's now easier and quicker to apply for financial aid to support your college education.

 

Here’s what you need to know:

  1. New Deadline: The deadline for the Tennessee Promise FAFSA is now May 15, 2024. This gives you extra time to complete the form.
  2. Easier Application: The updated FAFSA is shorter, and some of you may only need to answer around 18 questions.
  3. New Requirements: Be aware of changes in the information needed, like details about spouses or stepparents.
  4. More Aid Opportunities: Changes in aid calculations could mean more federal Pell Grants for some students.

 

Getting Ready

Create your account at StudentAid.gov. Gather necessary documents like tax returns, Social Security numbers, and information on savings and investments. The FAFSA is based on your family's 2022 tax filings.

Remember, the FAFSA is key to unlocking financial aid opportunities, so don't miss out on this chance. If you need any assistance or have questions, feel free to reach out to our financial aid office. We're here to help you every step of the way!
