Answer 1

www.fafsa.ed.gov

This website will answer all your questions! Deadlines depend on which semester you're filing for. You can do the app online in about 15-20 minutes. Good luck.

Answer 2

The absolute latest date to file the 07-08 FAFSA (to obtain financial aid for the upcoming academic year) is June 30, 2008. You can file the 06-07 FAFSA until June 30, 2007 (to apply for financial aid for the current academic year). In short, June 30th is always the deadline.

That said, it is most likely that you will need to file a LOT sooner than that. Most schools will set their own "priority" deadlines, which often coincide with their Admissions cycle. For example, because we send financial aid offers at the same time as acceptance letters (in March/April), we ask students to apply for financial aid by February 1. Students CAN apply later, but doing so can jeopardize not only their eligibility for federal/state aid but also for institutional scholarships/grants.

Additionally, every state agency has its own deadline by which students must apply if they are seeking financial aid from the state. If you live in a state that offers financial aid to its residents and you think you might be eligible, I would encourage you to pay close attention to these deadlines. The FAFSA website lists each state's deadline, here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/before003a.htm#state_deadlines

Answer 3

You should file as soon as possible. Every state has a different priority deadline and some schools even have their own dates they would like it done by so check with your school for the exact date. The federal government wants it done between Jan 1st and June 30th of the next year so you have a year and a half to apply for Pell grant and loans. As far as how you should file, you should do it online if possible at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Answer 4

First apply for a pin (takes about 3 days to recieve through email-also ask for one in the mail to save in a file)
Then take your tax return (if dependent- get parents one also) and input it in the FAFSA website.

Every school wants you to have this done. Do it immediatly for Fall admission. Usually by Mid March

Answer 5

It is good to file as early as possible. They start taking applications on Jan. 1 every year. For this year 2007-2008 you should fill out the application now. Fafsa covers each year june to june.

Answer 6

You should file right after doing your taxes or after your parents have done their taxes...And it is first come first service so the quicker the better! U can file electronically online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or u can pick up a application at any school. The last date to file depends on your state, but again it is first come first serve so do it fast!!

Answer 7

i think of it relies upon on what sort of assist you to're relating/drawn to as to in spite of if that shrink-off date makes a extensive distinction. For provides, that state-by using-state priority shrink-off date might make a extensive distinction. yet once you're speaking approximately Federal loans, then that state date is carefully irrelevant. The shrink-off date for submitting the FAFSA to get carry of certain Federal loans for the 2007-2008 educational 3 hundred and sixty 5 days ought to desire to be 30 June 2008.

Answer 8

The earlier the better.....there are state deadlines and there are school deadlines that are sometimes even earlier than the states.
