2025-26 FAFSA Details

On November 22, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education launched the 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The online FAFSA form is available to all students and families at fafsa.gov. Submit your FAFSA at fafsa.gov using Millikin's school code: 001724.

Before you file the FAFSA, we recommend reviewing the details at https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-announces-official-release-of-2025-26-fafsa-form to learn what you can expect when filling out the form, including what's new for the 2025-26 year. This site also includes helpful resources to assist students and families in completing and submitting the FAFSA form. In addition to normal operating hours, found on StudentAid.gov, students and families will have access to FAFSA-only hours at the contact center that include evenings and weekends. The expanded hours begin Nov. 22, 2024 and will extend through Mar. 2, 2025. 

The Department has recently released a suite of resources to assist students and families in completing and submitting the FAFSA form during the 2025–26 cycle, including:

• “Who’s the Parent on the FAFSA Form?” Wizard—A new, stand-alone tool to help students and families determine who will need to provide contributor information on the 2025–26 FAFSA form prior to starting the application.
• “Creating Your StudentAid.gov Account” Page—A new resource that explains what families and partners need to know about creating a StudentAid.gov account. 
• Pro Tips for Completing the FAFSA Form—Updated tips for preparing to complete and submit the FAFSA form. This resource will also be linked from the StudentAid.gov Dashboard to promote easier access for students and their required contributor(s). 
• Federal Student Aid Estimator—The tool provides an estimate of the 2025–26 Student Aid Index and Federal Pell Grant eligibility calculation. 
• Federal Student Aid YouTube Channel: FAFSA Videos—Updated videos to help students and families understand the importance of the FAFSA form, who is a FAFSA contributor, and what happens after submitting the form.
