Federal Student Loan Fresh Start Program Ends and Loan Repayment Begins
The Fresh Start and On-Ramp loan programs ended September 30, 2024. Students who enrolled in the Fresh Start program and who did not meet their repayment status are now at risk of going into default. Defaulted borrowers are not eligible for future financial aid funds and may see negative changes to their credit score and borrowing abilities. Student loan history and loan servicer contact information can be found on your Student Aid dashboard.
2025–2026 FAFSA Available December 1
The 2025–2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is scheduled to go live on December 1, 2024. Students planning to enroll in Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and/or Summer 2026 will need to complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA in order for their financial aid eligibility to be determined. Completing the FAFSA early ensures consideration for as many financial aid awards as possible as some funds have limited availability or are available on a first come, first served basis.
