No, it is not too late to file the FAFSA, but it could result in less money not to pay back (need based scholarships from the college or university) than if you filed in January or February since it is now April. However, you need to file as soon as possible now! Each college or university has a financial aid deadline. The Pell Grant should not be effected since it goes by a formula. I will include some free resources to help you find more money to locate money to attend school this coming fall.
First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.
Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites, but the best I have located is Scholarship Experts since they have a very thorough and lengthy survey to complete compared to Fastweb. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!

Absolutely not! It is not to late to file. It is recommended you file as early as possilble because alot of aid is awarded based on need and when you apply.
I suggest filing online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Print off the list of necessary information, gather the docs and enter the info.
Have fun!
