什么是FAFSA Simplification Act 和 what is changing?

The FAFSA Simplification Act represents a significant overhaul of the processes 和 systems used to award federal student aid starting with the 2025-26 award year. Major changes required by the law include the following:

  • The term Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is changing to Student Aid Index (SAI). This is the result of a new need analysis formula that we will use when awarding need-based grants 和 scholarships.
  • 简化的FAFSA表格. You’ll be asked fewer questions when completing the 2025-26 FAFSA 和 it will be easier to transfer tax information directly from the IRS.
  • Other new terminology is being introduced. You’ll notice a few new terms like:
    • Contributor - anyone who is asked to provide information on the FAFSA, a p是nt or student spouse for example
    • Consent - each contributor will need to consent to their information being included on the FAFSA
