ASU has extended the 2025-2026 FAFSA priority date from Jan. 15 to Feb. 1. Eligible students who apply by this date have a greater chance of receiving need-based aid. The priority filing date is not a deadline, so still submit your FAFSA even if the priority filing date has passed. For more information, visit the FAFSA information page.
Financial Aid and Scholarship Services will begin applying your spring 2025 (sessions A and C) financial aid to your spring charges starting January 8. Check your disbursement status in the Financial Aid Tracker and if it reads "Disbursement," you do not need to take any action. If your status shows anything other than "Disbursement," check Priority Tasks to ensure there is no information needed from you.
Most deadlines for the 2025-2026 year occur between January 1 and March 1. It is important that you review deadlines carefully as they do vary. Scholarship awards are very competitive and if you are selected, you will be notified by the awarding office noted in the scholarship listing. Scholarship recipients are typically notified of selection in April and May. For more information, visit the scholarship search page.
