Maria asks…
Is there a place I can get a printable version of the FAFSA?
My grandmother will help me with the FAFSA, but she will only help me with hard copy, she can’t help with computers.

Sandy asks…
I start school again today, Is it to late for FAFSA?
I start school today and for unexplained details I wasn’t able to submit an application until today. On the FAFSA website it says for initial awards, applications must be submitted by March 2nd and for additional community college awards, It has to be by September the 2nd. Will the government still pay for my classes even though I submitted the application today as well as give me a small bonus for supplies?
Michelle answers:
For the school year that begins in the fall, applications for financial aid through FAFSA are intended to be applied for beginning in January throught March of the same year – that would make you 5 months LATE (Sept. Is the cutoff for those “starting” school in the Spring 2011 semester)………. Chances are, being as you’re so late, you will not receive it in time.
Rather poor planning on your part.
Ruth asks…
When do I have to compete the FAFSA federal aid application?
I’m a senior in high school and you can say I’m a little confused on what to do for college. I’m planning on applying for a school for the Fall 2008 semester and I was wondering when is the best time to complete a FAFSA application. Should I do it now since school application deadlines are next January and February?
Michelle answers:
The FAFSA won’t be available until after January 1, 2008. It will ask for income information for both you and your parent(s). While you can estimate your tax information and complete the FAFSA before filing taxes, you may later have to verify to the school that the information you submitted is indeed correct.
Your school may also have an in-house application(s) that you have to complete, so make sure and see if this applies to you, and if so when it is available (these are usually available in October/November).
Most schools have an “on-time” or “priority” deadline sometime in the spring (March/April). Check with your school to see when this is. Even though the FAFSA can be filled out as early as January 1, 2008, you don’t really have to have it completed until the school’s deadline, so you have time.
Check with a financial aid officer at the school(s) you will be applying to for more information/guidance. Good luck!
Michael asks…
Can you switch fafsa info once your application has been approved?
‘m attending college in the fall.
If you’ve already registered your fafsa to one school, can you switch schools?
I have mine registered to mott and I want to know if i can switch it to baker if its already been approved.
Michelle answers:
I am pretty sure you can cuz most people turn their fafsa inn before accepting any schools. After you submit your fafsa you do have the option of making corrections or changes. So i would do that first. If you cant do that, call the financial aid of the school you want to attend and i am sure they can help you out.
