Your Questions About Fafsa

Laura asks…

How soon does the school or FAFSA send your financial aid award if you applied on time but needed to?

How soon does the school or FAFSA send your financial aid award if you applied on time but needed to clear up a problem with the department of education, if you cleared up the problem about 2 days ago. The school is now only waiting for an academic plan to be filled out and then they said the financial aid file will be complete , so when should they send out the financial aid award?

Our pick of the answers:

You need to ask this question of the Financial Aid Office. Each Financial Aid Office has a different timetable when financial aid awards will be processed.

Nancy asks…

When do you start filling out FAFSA and other for UC or CSU?

When do you start filling out FAFSA and other scholarships for UC or CSU? is it before there deadline (Nov. 30) or afterwards?

Our pick of the answers:

The FAFSA is available online on January 1st of the new year (so you definitley can't fill it out in November.) No school reall y tells you when you should apply for your FAFSA, but the sooner the better. (It's said that the earlier you apply, the more financial aid you could possibly get.) However, one problem is that you have to get your taxes/income from your family's (and your own, if applicable) employers - which usually takes at least until february or march. The earlier the better, though.
