"The 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid will be released on an unspecified date in December 2023 with several updates outlined in the FAFSA Simplification Act and implemented by the U.S. Department of Education," The Ithacan reports.

..."Karen McCarthy, vice president of public policy and federal relations at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said the unclear timeline for the FAFSA release is challenging for both students and institutions. 

'Schools [need to] make their plans to make sure that they can adjust their calendars and get all of the work that they need to get done for their students done on time,' McCarthy said. 'Especially incoming students who are trying to decide where they want to enroll, they need to have financial aid offers in hand.'"
