The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required to qualify for most federal student aid available at SUNY Orange. You must submit a FAFSA form for each academic year in which you want to be considered for federal student aid.

The 2024-2025 FAFSA and NYS TAP Application is available.

Remember, the 2024-2025 FAFSA uses financial information from 2022 so you should already have the necessary tax information. Students and parents are required to give consent to be a contributor on the FAFSA.

Once you have submitted your FAFSA, it will prompt you to "Start your State Application" if you entered that you are a New York State Resident. 

The federal deadline to submit your FAFSA for the 2024-2025 academic year is June 30, 2025.
