Have you done your FAFSA?
I received an email from our financial aid representative today as a reminder to complete my FAFSA. Have you done yours? This has been on my to-do list for weeks and I haven’t done it. Now is the time! I have my taxes done so I really have no excuse. The sooner you complete it, the better.
If you didn’t start school until January is it necessary to fill out the FAFSA form again?
Yes, you will need to fill out a new FAFSA for the next semester.
Hello,
We are trying to get everyone to get hte FAFSA’s done as soon as your 2009 taxes are done. The FAFSA year runs from July to June every year regardless of your start date. We have set up prize drawings each month as incentive to get your FAFSA complete (besides that fact that we need it to calculate your awards eligibility). We are drawing today for the $100 Best Buy gift card for FAFSA’s from February and we have a $75 gift card to Target if you have completed the FAFSA by the end of March and a $50 Super America gift card if you are done by the end of April.
As always, see Financial Aid if you have questions. Thank you for the support and reminders to each other. Good luck on your finals that are coming up!
I did my FAFSA right away, and now can budget for the 2010-2011 school year. Being prepared helps you plan your finances for the future, and takes a lot of “what if” stress off your plate!
