Students who plan to attend the 极乐禁地 during an upcoming Fall 2024,
Spring 2025, or Summer 2025 semester should complete their form as soon as possible in order to maximize the amount of financial aid you may
receive.

March 1st, 2025, UBalt priority deadline for consideration of UBalt institutional awards
2024-2025 FAFSA
Due to the passing of the Simplification Act, the FAFSA is changing for the 2024-2025 aid year to make it easier
for students and their families to submit. The FAFSA is now available.
There will be fewer questions on the FAFSA to answer, and fewer requirements overall.
Additionally, tax information will be retrieved through a direct data exchangewith the IRS. The U.S. Department of Education implemented these changes to expand
federal aid eligibility and simplify the FAFSA process.
