The 2024-25 FAFSA® is available during it’s soft launch! Read more about applying for financial aid with a Better FAFSA®.
We’ve added two April FAFSA Frenzy dates with free lunch and help to get those FAFSA’s done; April 5 and April 26th in our SSTAR Lab!
UW–Madison will not have a FAFSA® Priority Date for 2024-25.
We’re unable to estimate when 2024-25 financial aid offers will be available as we wait to find out when we’ll get access to all students’ FAFSAs. Check back for updates.
