2025-2026 FAFSA form

The 2025-2026 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is not yet available. Federal Student Aid anticipates the application will be available to the public by December 1, 2024. 

2024-25 FAFSA form

The 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form is available. The application is more streamlined than before and expands some eligibility for federal student aid.

Filing a FAFSA means Naz can put together a financial aid offer for you.

Financial Aid Application Process

Incoming Undergraduate Applicants

FAFSA Online Application Process

  1. Create an FSA ID — a user name and password — at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. A separate FSA ID is required for a student and parent (of dependent students). Each FSA ID user must have a unique email address. Keep your FSA ID, as you will need it to file a renewal FAFSA each year, sign federal loan applications, and access your student aid history online.

  3. New York State residents must complete the Express TAP application (ETA) online immediately following submission of the FAFSA. Nazareth University's Undergraduate TAP school code is 0525.
  4. Your Financial Aid Offer will be emailed to you. Once you set up your Nazareth credentials, you will be able to access your offer and the financial aid portal at My Financial Aid @ Naz.
