"There were limited changes to this year's form, but to test the changes that were made, a beta version was first made available to a select number of students and families in early August. Then, last week, all students could access the test form. Over the course of those two months, more than 40,000 applications have been started, about 27,000 have been submitted and roughly 24,000 have been processed without rejection."
"I am extremely proud to announce the earliest launch of the FAFSA form in history, which ensures American students and families have access to critical resources as they begin or continue their postsecondary education journey,"
"Under President Trump's leadership, our talented team has redesigned and streamlined the process so all American students can now successfully complete the form in minutes."
The final FAFSA was made available to all students Wednesday, eight days ahead of schedule, marking the earliest online launch since the transition nearly two decades ago. Officials criticized the Biden administration's infamously botched FAFSA overhaul two years earlier. The application redesign aims to streamline completion, with limited changes for this year. A beta version went to select students in early August, then opened to all students last week. Over two months, more than 40,000 applications were started, about 27,000 submitted, and roughly 24,000 processed without rejection. Updates include redesigned parent invitations and faster verification, with 97 percent user satisfaction and 90 percent reporting reasonable completion time.
