FAFSA Deadline!
The FAFSA deadline is quickly approaching! Many questions come up while filling out the FAFSA, so we are here to help! The following is a frequently asked question that may be of help to you! If you have further questions regarding the FAFSA please visit their website. You can also visit SHU’s Financial Aid website.
“How soon after January 1 should the FAFSA form be sent in? Is it better to wait until the income tax forms have been completed?
Send in the form as soon as possible after January 1. Do not wait until your taxes are done. Although it is better to do your taxes early, it is ok to use estimates of your income, so long as they aren't very far off from the actual values. You will have an opportunity to correct any errors later. If you wait too long, you might miss the deadline for state aid. Most states require the FAFSA to be submitted by March 1, and some even as early as early or mid-February.” –FAFSA.org
