Complete Your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)!
Interested in receiving federal and state financial aid? You must complete a FAFSA each year at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. (Be sure to only use the form at fafsa.gov.) The 2024-25 application is now available. Learn more about the 2024-25 FAFSA changes.
Applying for J-Term (winter) or summer semester financial aid? You'll need to submit a FAFSA for the corresponding academic year and then submit the UWRF J-Term or Summer Aid Form AFTER you have registered for your J-Term or summer classes. Learn more at Applying For Aid.
Check out the Federal Student Aid Estimator for an estimate of how much federal student aid the student may be eligible to receive. These estimates are based on the Student Aid Index (SAI), an index used to determine federal aid eligibility.
2024-2025 FAFSA Corrections: Adding schools, contributor signatures, consent and approval
Students can now make corrections to their 2024-2025 FAFSA. Check the status of your FAFSA by logging in to your StudentAid.Gov account and selecting your FAFSA submission from the "My Activity" section of your account dashboard. The ability to make required or voluntary corrections to 2024-25 FAFSA forms that are in "Processed" status will be available first. Check your FAFSA submission summary to review your responses and understand any required actions to complete your form. More information about corrections can be found at studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/review-and-correct/correct.
