Start your 2024 – 2025 FAFSA Form today! To begin, both you and your parent need to Create a StudentAid.Gov Account. If your parent does not have a Social Security Number (SSN) they can still create an account to complete their portion of the FAFSA. Find directions on how to complete this process here.
The Department of Education will begin to send schools Student FAFSAs at the end of January. St. Cloud State University anticipates requests for additional information to go out at the end of February or early March. St. Cloud State University will send all notifications to your SCSU student email so be sure to check it periodically.
Check out the new Federal Student Aid Estimator provided by the Department of Education. It can help you understand your potential options for paying for college by providing you an estimate of how much federal student aid you may be eligible for. This is an estimate tool and does not guarantee you will be eligible for these funds. Eligibility depends on the completion of the 2024-2025 FAFSA.
