<p>Do I do the FA forms after I have been admitted to a school?
Do I have to fill out any papers when I apply to schools?
thanks for reply</p>
<p>You apply to your colleges and if you want to be considered for any financial aid, including federal grants and loans as well as need based aid you must file the FAFSA. You cannot file til Jan 1,2009 (if it is for the 2009-2010 school yr). FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid
On the FAFSA application you supply the school codes for the info to be sent to your schools.
Another good site is FinAid</a>! Financial Aid, College Scholarships and Student Loans</p>
<p>Make sure that you visit the financial aid website for each school you apply to. If you are considering a school, even if you haven't been accepted yet, you will want to apply for aid at that school before the financial aid preference date --- that way, you'll be assured of getting the full amount of aid that you would possibly be entitled to.</p>
