How to print 2024-2025 FAFSA SAR after getting SAI - everything shows last year's report instead!

same issue here!! been trying for 3 days to print my sons sar and it ALWAYS goes back to last year. so frustrating!!!! let me know if u figure it out

I had this exact problem last week. The trick is that you need to go to the "My Documents" section instead of trying through the main FAFSA page. Once you're in My Documents, you should see a filter option at the top. Change the year filter to 2024-2025, and then look for a document called "Student Aid Report" or sometimes "SAR." It's a bit hidden compared to previous years due to the new FAFSA system. Hope this helps!

Here's another way to try: Go to studentaid.gov main page > Click on 'Complete the FAFSA Form' > On next screen choose '2024-2025' > It will ask if you want to 'Start New' or 'Log In to Continue' > Choose Log In > After logging in you should see an option for 'View Student Aid Report (SAR)' in the left menu. If that doesn't work, there's also a 'Print SAR' button at the bottom of your FAFSA Confirmation page if you still have that open somewhere.

omg the new fafsa is such a disaster. my daughter's application was stuck for 6 weeks and we couldn't even call anyone because the wait times were ridiculous. they totally messed up the whole system this year!

If neither of the methods mentioned above work, there's one more option: call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). They can manually generate and email you a copy of the 2024-2025 SAR. The challenge right now is getting through due to extremely high call volumes. I recently discovered a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an agent after struggling for days. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ. It saved me hours of frustration when I needed to resolve a verification issue.

UPDATE: I found it! The My Documents section worked, but I had to click through several screens. For anyone else having this problem: Log in > Click on the dropdown menu under your name > Select My Documents > Change year filter to 2024-2025 > Look for "FAFSA Processed Successfully" email > Click on it > Scroll down to find the link to the SAR. Thanks everyone for your help!

Quick tip for anyone who needs their SAR for scholarship applications: Save it as a PDF once you find it! I learned this the hard way when my son needed to submit his for multiple scholarships, and the system was down for maintenance when the second deadline came around. The new FAFSA system seems to have more maintenance periods than the old one.
