Important FAFSA update from FAME The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be released by December 31, 2023. This year’s FAFSA delay likely has you eager to file as soon as possible. Given the significant changes to the FAFSA and the move to a new platform, we recommend waiting to file the FAFSA until a week or so after it’s been released. Another reason not to feel pressured to file immediately is that there will also be a delay in the processing and sending of FAFSA files to schools. Schools won’t start receiving FAFSA records until late January. Click on the link to read more. Published December 17, 2023
