New FAFSA

[Quackerz]

Has anyone completed the new and improved FAFSA for the 2024/2025 school year? I keep checking back and have not had the opportunity to access it.

Haven't tried logging into their site, I haven't setup an account with them, I would just wait until the holiday is over, most agencies, business, companies, and government sites are going to be doing scheduled maintenance yearly when it's least busy. That's when you can't logon as their site is being updated and specific changes are being made... Patience my friend, you may want to create a thread with the addendum and template for degree planning advice if you need.

I completed it this afternoon! It was really simple.

And I have gotten so much out of this forum that I was able to transfer all but 15 credits to TESU for my BSBA. Now it's almost ENEB time before a MBA program in the US!

In regards to your MBA - you should go the WGU route as they have ACBSP and is the cheapest option. I mentioned that in your other thread here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid410583

I just completed mine. It took about 3 minutes to do. Here are my stats:
1) Previous Bachelor's degree
2) Applying for Master's degree + Teacher License
3) Getting SNAP (food stamps) and Medicaid

Result:
"Estimated Student Aid Index (SAI) = -1500
Based on the eligibility criteria, you may be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant of up to $7,395".
However if you use their official grant estimate calculator it says I am eligible for $22,000 in loans, $0 in a Pell Grant, and have a -1500 SAI.

You already have a bachelor's degree thus you're not eligible for Pell Grant.
