I just had to correct my FAFSA by adding in the last part of my last name (It’s a hyphenated last name and the last part of it I don’t normally use so I forgot to add it). I also added one school to the list. My question is does that affect the financial aid I will be receiving? I originally did my FAFSA the first day it was available, like literally at 9 PM pst on the day before, and this correction is coming months later. For schools that give aid on a first-come first-serve basis does this mean they’ll discard my previous FAFSA and reevaluate the whole thing putting me further down to the bottom of the line of people wanting financial aid. Essentially as if I were to just now be originally doing my financial aid. I really hope it’s not the case but I can’t find anything online.
No, your filing will be as of the first day for those 10 schools. If you didn’t submit the 11th school until today, today is the date for that one.
No.
Okay, thank you all!
