FAFSA and changing schools in July...

<p>Hi everyone, I finished my freshman year at a private university in NC in May, and just found out yesterday I cannot go back this fall due to finances. I am returning to my home state of NJ, and spent last night applying to state schools. However, my financial aid for the private school I went to has already been processed, and I plan on calling tomorrow to let them know I cannot return since I can't call today on the 4th of July. My question is: is it possible for my FAFSA to be processed again at whichever school I decide to transfer into this late in the game? It sucks I had to find out in July and now I'm worried I'll be denied the aid I need.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help, guys!</p>

<p>how much aid do you need? </p>

<p>How much will your parents pay for? I see that last year they paid for your tuition, room, and board at a private…and now maybe they can’t afford to pay that much? How much will they pay this year?</p>

<p>What is your EFC? </p>

<p>You’re in NJ, right?</p>

<p>State school often don’t have much aid to give…usually just federal aid and (if offered) state aid. </p>

<p>As for FAFSA, I think you just go in and add your new schools.</p>

<p>I am in state for NJ, and I am aware state schools don’t offer much aid. My EFC is about $1500, so I received a significant amount of aid from fafsa for Fall 2012/spring 2013. My parents can pay around $7,000-$10,000 each year. Thanks for your help, I guess I’ll just call my old school tomorrow and ask them if there’s anything else I need to do besides change schools on fafsa.</p>
