With the 2024-25 FAFSA work still underway, an important guide for 2025-26 is now available for financial aid professionals.

In an August 13 Electronic Announcement, the Department of Education said the 2025–26 Student Aid Index (SAI) and Pell Grant Eligibility Guide includes information on methodology for determining eligibility for federal student aid, and the worksheets and tables used to determine a student’s SAI.

A PDF version of the guide is also available.
