Should I apply for 17-18 financial aid already or wait until January to do it?
I’m a freshman in college
It depends on your individual circumstances.
well I wasn’t very clear but I meant like to renew my fafsa already
My kid did her fafsa for 2017-2018 at the beginning of November. The on,unreason to wait is if you have a lot of money in the bank or,other assets to liquidate before filing.
I understand what you’re asking, and the answer to your question depends on your individual circumstances. Like thumper1 said, if you are able to and want to spend down assets, you can wait until that has been done. If any possible aid you might be eligible for is first-come, first-served, you should submit your FAFSA as soon as possible.
What was your EFC last year, have assets changed a lot?
Did you qualify for Pell, SEOG, work study, state grant last year?
