24/25 FAFSA Update

You should complete the 24/25 FAFSA as soon as you’re able. Please keep an eye on the FSA guidance on the launch of the 24/25 FAFSA to complete your application. Also check your MyBU Applicant Portal checklist to make sure BU has received your 2024/2025 CSS Profile and any other required documents.

Please note that your 2024/25 FAFSA will not be updated into received status in your checklist until we are able to load your FAFSA data; we anticipate receiving the FAFSA data in mid-March.
