When to apply for financial aid

Published

I have applied for USA's PNP program for the Fall and I won't find out anything regarding admission until May. When should I apply for financial aid? I am not sure if you can fill out the FAFSA form prior to being admitted. Does anyone know? Thanks,

You can do FAFSA before getting admitted. Not sure if this is universal, but my FAFSA is due March 1, and acceptances aren't sent out until April/May for a lot of programs. I think it's best to get the FAFSA forms done as soon as you can. I'm still waiting on my W2 though.

I would ask the financial aid office of your school. I think you need to put the schools code in, but I might be confusing it with another process.... Anyway, they probably deal with this each time a class is admitted and know the ropes very, very well.

First I would start with your aid office to ensure you have everything that is required. Second,I would wait to you have filled your taxes. A lot of the sections requires your W2 form. Hope everything turn out well

Yeah, I am going to submit financial aid packages for every school I applied to ASAP after we file our taxes this year. I think one of the schools I am applying to said to submit by the end of February.
