Overview

• The 2023–24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) preview presentation provides screenshots that financial aid professionals, mentors, and counselors can use as a guide for the 2023–24 web application. The screenshots and information provided can be used to create/modify presentations for professional trainings and high school nights.
• The screenshots are intended to show what the FAFSA^® form will look like and a majority of the questions displayed on the FAFSA^® form; however, most applicants and/or parents are unlikely to need to answer all the questions when completing the form.
• The 2023–24 version of the FAFSA^® form will be available for applicants to use on Oct. 1, 2022.
• The 2023–24 web demonstration site will be available on Sept. 25, 2022.
