FAFSA Submission and Correction/Updates
Updating or Correcting Your 2024-25 FAFSA
The Department of Education has issued guidance regarding correcting or updating your 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). Most of the questions on the FAFSA® want to know your situation as of the day you sign the application, but there are instances in which you’ll want to change the information you initially reported. Navigation to the left on the correction page is helpful.
FAFSA Submission Update: by July 1 for all first time enrolling students
While many students and families have been able to successfully complete the 2024-2025 FAFSA, others have not, due to known FAFSA completion challenges. Out of awareness and concern for these students and families, Amherst College is delaying our submission requirement for the FAFSA to July 1 for all first time enrolling students.
All aid applicants should:
Complete the CSS Profile Application for 2024-25 if you haven't already done so.
Review other items needed to apply for financial aid as a first-year or transfer applicant. Your financial aid application status can be checked on the Financial Aid Portal.
