Free Application for Federal Student Aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is used by colleges and the federal government to determine your eligibility for grants, need-based scholarships, loans and workstudy programs. 

The 2024-2025 FAFSA will become available by December 31, 2023, and the sooner you submit it, the more aid will be available to you. The priority deadline for Jacksonville State University is April 1 of each year.
