<p>I am applying ED to GWU...is the financial aid deadline usually the same as the application deadline, or is it later?</p>
<p>The financial aid form on GWU's website is for last year, but it was due 11/15. Looks like it's around the same time as the app is due. You are using estimated financial info based on last year's taxes, so you can gather the info you'll need now & fill things in as soon as the new form is online.</p>
<p>The information below is from the George Washington University Website. It, however, gives the deadlines for last year (why, I don't know). You probably should call to check for this year's deadlines. It looks like part I of the financial aid application is due Novermber 15 and it looks like the Profile is due November 15and these are used for the preliminary financial aid award for ED students. The tax returns you would send with this would be your signed ones from 2007, I believe. The FAFSA is due February 1 and the tax returns for 2008 would be needed as well to finalize the award. Please call George Washington University to verify the deadlines for those applying for aid for the 2009-2010 school year. What is below is one year old.</p>
