The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2024-2025 academic year will open in late December 2023. The last day to submit the FAFSA for the 2024-2025 academic year is June 30, 2024, but the sooner you complete the FAFSA the sooner you will be evaluated for aid.

Complete the FAFSA

Students who do not meet the citizenship or eligible non-citizenship criteria for the FAFSA may still be eligible for need-based scholarships. Complete the Boise State Scholarship Application and then complete the Federal Student Aid Estimator.
