FAFSA applications for the 2024-2025 academic year are due June 30, after which the application will be unavailable on the student aid website. Colleges can have their own deadline and often require applications be submitted before the federal deadline in the summer.

The White House on Monday ordered a pause on federal grants and loans, according to a memo, but the Department of Education said the freeze will not affect student loans or financial aid for college.

If you depend on federal student loans, Pell grants or another type of federal financial aid to pay for your tuition, you might be worried about the federal funding freeze that was announced and then temporarily halted on Tuesday.
