Soft launch for 2024-25 FAFSA form underway

Posted on by Polk Newsroom

The U.S. Department of Education is in the soft launch period for the 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.

Polk State College students are encouraged to apply early but there will be periods of time during the soft launch where the form, which has been simplified for the 2024-25 Academic Year, is not available online. Students will have adequate time to complete the form and are encouraged to stay patient during the soft launch.

Federal student aid, which includes Pell Grants, student loans, and the Federal Work-Study Program, is available to Polk State students and prospective students with a high school diploma or general education degree (GED). State and institutional financial aid funds are also available by using the FAFSA

Information about how to apply can be found here. Polk State’s FAFSA school code is 001514.

Students with questions about financial aid can email financialaid@polk.edu. More information about financial aid can be found here.
