The release of the 2024-2025 FAFSA is currently scheduled for the end of December
2023. In recent years, the FAFSA became available in October. This pushing back of
the release came from the U.S. Department of Education and is connected to implementation
of The FAFSA Simplification Act. Like most other institutions, Goucher College will not be publishing or processing
any additional forms, appeals, or paperwork for the 2024-2025 academic year until
the FAFSA has been officially released and any software and system processing updates
have been implemented. Please bookmark this page and check back later, or contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
