FAFSA简化法案 was enacted into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. 该法案对联邦学生援助进行了重大改革, including the information requested on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Form, 财政援助需求分析计算, and other policies and procedures for schools to continue to participate in Title IV Federal financial aid.

Department of Education is continuing to work on providing updates to students, families and schools.

- 学生 can review their 2024-25 FAFSA application status through studentaid.政府
- 学生 will receive a FAFSA Submission Summary after their application has been processed. 学生 may immediately use the Submission Summary to review their form answers and understand any actions needed to complete their application.

- 没有社会安全号码的父母现在可以申请FSA ID
- IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) is renamed to Federal Taxpayer Information (FTI).
- The parent reported on the FAFSA will no longer be the parent whom a student has lived with the most in the past year but rather the parent whom provided the most financial support.
- 学生, 配偶, 父母, and step父母 will now need to provide their consent in the new Consent to Retrieve and Disclose Federal Tax Information section of the FAFSA for federal student aid eligibility.
- 同意将允许IRS分享FTI.
- 如任何一方未提供同意, submission will be allowed; 然而, the FAFSA will not be able to calculate a student’s Student Aid Index.

- 谁出资并签署FAFSA? Anyone who is required to provide information, a signature, and consent to have their federal tax 信息(FTI)直接转移到FAFSA. This may include the student’s biological or adoptive 父母, a step-parent, or a student’s spouse. Contributors will each log in to the FAFSA separately with their own FSA ID account. Then, they will complete their own section and answer questions that only 他们可以看到. All contributors must provide their financial information and will be required to sign the FAFSA.

学生 may see changes in how financial aid is calculated by either an increase or decrease in their aid. Below outlines some key reasons why students may see these changes in financial aid:
- 确定援助资格, the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be replaced with the Student Aid Index (SAI). 学生 with the highest need may see a negative number (up to -1500) as their SAI. The SAI will be used to calculate many forms of federal, state and Carroll financial aid.
- The simplified calculation and reduced a number of questions are designed to increase the number of Federal Pell grant recipients.
- SAI will no longer consider the number of students in the household who are in college.
- Families who own businesses/small family farms will now have assets included into the SAI calculation.
- Schools will no longer see the housing status that students report on the FAFSA. This affects our ability to appropriately award students based on the type of housing they have. If your housing status will be different than what it was in the prior school year, 请联系财政援助办公室.
To assist with getting an early estimate of what financial aid may be received, students and families can complete Carroll's 2024-25 净价计算器. 这不是2024-25年FAFSA的替代品, 然而, it will give students an idea of their potential financial aid eligibility at Carroll. 这个工具可以在这里找到: 大一新生 or 转学.
