The FAFSA is your application for financial aid and determines whether you qualify for grants, work study, loans and some scholarships. The FAFSA has minor changes each year, but the biggest changes in several decades are being implemented for 2024-25.*
Here are some things you can do now to be prepared:
- If you are a dependent student and your parents are not married, determine which parent will need to complete the FAFSA.
- Make sure each person that needs to complete the FAFSA has their own FSA ID.
THIS IS A BIG CHANGE! We can no longer accept paper signature pages for the FAFSA, all contributors but create a FSA ID. - Make sure each person that needs to complete the FAFSA has completed their 2022 income tax return if required.

*At HVCC, the 2024-2025 FAFSA is intended for use for the Fall 2024 semester.
