The 2025-26 FAFSA will be fully launched by Dec. 1, allowing select groups of students early access from Oct. 1 to help identify issues in advance.
Karen McCarthy expressed optimism that the phased rollout will avoid the technical glitches and delays seen during the previous year's FAFSA launch.
The simplified FAFSA for 2025-26 has reduced questions from 108 to about 36, aiming to streamline the process and improve accessibility for new applicants.
The redesigned FAFSA will also alter financial aid calculations, notably removing the sibling discount for families with multiple children in higher education simultaneously.
