Best time to start filling out for financial aid

<p>When should a student start filling out aid?</p>

<p>We did it in January prior to his Freshman year. We had the tax information. I think most of the deadlines were in February but check with the schools</p>

<p>Are you going to be a freshman next year? FAFSA for the following year is not available until January 1st - that will be the case every year. Profile schools have different schedules and it may depend on whether you’re applying ED or not. Please make sure you check, and write down, the priority deadline for each school you’re applying to…and make sure you meet it with at least a few days to spare!</p>
