If you have not already done so, complete the 2024–2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for need-based grants, federal work-study, or to take advantage of federal student loan programs in the Summer 2024, Fall 2024, or Spring 2025 semesters. The FAFSA is available to US Citizens and eligible non-citizens. If you need assistance completing the FAFSA, please reach out to Drake’s Financial Aid Office for help.

On January 30, the US Department of Education announced that schools will not begin receiving submitted FAFSA records until the first half of March. Until then, the Financial Aid Office will not be able to confirm receipt of your FAFSA.
