FAFSA, CASFA |
What is the FAFSA?
- More than $150 billion in grants, loans, and work-study funds come from the U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid Program. The FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for these funds, which are need-based.
- In addition, many colleges and universities use the information on the FAFSA to make decisions on scholarships, grants, and loans awarded through their institution. (These may or may not be need-based.)
- The FAFSA has been redesigned for 2024-2025 forward, meaning a later roll-out date than students are typically used to. The new FAFSA is now open (soft-launched Dec. 31, 2023 and now fully available). You will be using your previous year's tax return. FAFSA application deadlines vary by school.

What is the CASFA?
- The Colorado Application for State Financial Aid or CASFA is a simple, safe and confidential application for state aid, including grants and work-study funds. These funds help open the door to higher education for students who have attended high school in Colorado as outlined in HB22-1155 and who are otherwise not eligible for federal financial aid.
- The purpose of the CASFA is to determine need for financial aid awarding purposes to students historically left out of receiving state and federal financial aid. Non-U.S. citizens and those that are not permanent residents of the U.S. can use the CASFA to apply for institutional aid.
- Like the FAFSA, the CASFA opens on October 1 of each year prior to the aid year, so students should begin working on their CASFA application starting October 1 of your Senior year.
