"It's been going very smoothly," says Christina Martinez, a financial aid advisor at California State University, Los Angeles, praising the improved user experience of this year's FAFSA.
A recent report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office revealed that problems with the last FAFSA contributed to about 9 percent fewer first-time applicants, particularly impacting lower-income students.
MorraLee Keller emphasizes the need for a positive message, stating, "there's been a lot of work put into this system for 2025-26 to make it a whole different experience than last year."
The FAFSA form may look almost identical to last year's, but notable improvements have been made to ensure a smoother application process for students.
