2024-2025 FAFSA Delay



The rollout of the 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be delayed due to several revisions made by the U.S. Department of Education required by the FAFSA Simplification Act. Some of the changes include a reduction in the number of questions, an increase in the number of languages available, and improvements to a data tool that pulls tax information directly from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). For more information, students should review the Federal Student Aid (FSA) website for more information. Accepted QCOM Applicants please read this additional info

Beware of Spam Calls about Loans

If you get a call, text, email or message on social media fromfrom someone about your Federal Student Loan, Here are some things to keep in mind: For more information about scams please read this document

  • Never pay an upfront fee. It's illegal for companies to charge you before they help you. If you pay up front to reduce or get rid of your student loan debt, you might not get any help or your money back. Also, remember that there's nothing a company can do for you that you can't do yourself for free. And you never have to pay to get help from the Department of Education.
  • Never give out your Federal Student Aid ID, your Social Security number or other personal information to anyone who contacts you. Scammers posing as student loan servicers can use this information to log into your account, change your contact information and even divert your payments to them. Instead of giving out your FSA ID, call or contact your servicer.
  • Don't sign up for quick loan forgiveness. Scammers might say they can get rid of your loans before they know the details of your situation. Or they might promise a loan forgiveness program- that most people won't qualify for. They might even say they'll wipe out your loans by disputing them. But they can't.
  • Scammers use fake seals and logos to lure people in. They promise special access to repayment plans, new federal loan consolidations, or loan forgiveness programs. It's a lie. If you have federal loans, go to the Department of Education directly at StudentAid.gov.

If a scammer contacts you, report it at Report Fraud Goverment Website
