FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION

9/26/2017

It is the time of year for families to begin to complete the documents necessary to be considered for financial aid.  The FASFA, which opens on October 1st, is necessary to complete for a student to be considered for financial aid.  In addition, some institutions require the FASFA to be completed for consideration of merit aid. Another form, the CSS Profile, is used by about 250 schools in their consideration of aid.  Here are the links you need to know about to get started:

FASFA  fafsa.ed.gov/
CSS Profile  cssprofile.collegeboard.org/

Before completing these documents, please take some time to read this article about common FASFA mistakes.  blog.ed.gov/2017/09/12-common-fafsa-mistakes-2/

Colleges have specific deadlines as to when they need completed financial aid documentation sent to them. Please check the website for each college you are applying to in order to ensure you are able to meet their deadline requirements.  Questions?  Here is a link to some answers that can hopefully get you through this important but at times confusing process. fafsa.ed.gov/help.htm
