<p>Can someone please verify...</p>
<p>I was told by some young person working the telephone at my son's college of choice that only the Admissions decision and deposit is due by May 1st and that the financial aid award letter response is not. Is this accurate? Thanks.</p>
<p>That sounds like it would be correct.</p>
<p>Might you have any idea whether there is a deadline for this? Given that some state awards are not communicated with families until mid-May, it is safe to wait or could the funds offered to a student be reallocated to someone else if there is a delay?</p>
<p>The FinAid deadline is likely different for each college. For S2 this year, the paperwork was very explicit and we had to accept by May 1st, with a signature through the mail. But IIRC, for S1 it was online only and could be done any time before a July deadline. If your school has told you that it is not due May 1st, then that probably is correct…for your school.</p>
