2024-2025 FAFSA
With the recent update of the FAFSA application by the U.S. Department of Education, students and families across the country are facing delays and challenges in receiving financial assistance.
The College is currently experiencing delays in processing, awarding, and notifying students about financial aid for the 2024-2025 academic year. We understand the frustration this may cause and want to assure you that we are actively working to process forms as quickly as they come from the Department of Education.
Contact the Financial Aid Office at 215-968-8200 or email finaid@bucks.edu to make an appointment. Still need to file your FAFSA? Let us help. Attend a FAFSA Completion Workshop.
