As many of you know, the 2024-25 FAFSA has been undergoing some changes to hopefully make the platform more user-friendly and take less time to fill out. They have given the soft launch date for the FAFSA as December 31.
We are planning for the FAFSA workshop night on February 5th at 6 pm. Hopefully, this will allow them to work out any issues and have it running by that date. Kaskaskia College usually joins us on this night to help us walk through the process, so we are also waiting for confirmation that they can attend.
We want to give everyone ample time to get this on their schedules!
Remember that the FAFSA is required by Illinois law to graduate, so please plan to attend with your student so that this requirement can be fulfilled.
We will update this article with any helpful information as we learn more and attach the Federal Student Aid article with more details if you are interested!

If you have any questions regarding the FAFSA or the event, please contact Mrs. Haarmann at the school or via email at thaarmann@odinpublicschools.org.
UPDATE! We've been encouraged to wait until February, so we've changed the date to February 5th at 6pm in the cafeteria.
