New FAFSA Date, New Deadlines?
Besides changes to college application options, this year, some significant changes were also made to financial aid. For students applying for financial aid, they will be able to start on the FAFSA early in October. As a result, the U.S. Department of Education sent a letter to colleges to specifically request that schools not set earlier deadlines for financial aid.
With all the news surrounding college applications and financial aid during this summer, it is important for students and families to pay attention to deadlines and each step of the process.
