<p>What is the deadline for FAFSA corrections for 2008-09? In other words, when should we finalize our FAFSA information? I already submitted my preliminary info and I have already recieved a SAR.</p>
<p>You should complete your 2007 taxes ASAP after February 1 and correct the FAFSA with the correct info from your completed taxes. You should do this as soon as possible.</p>
<p>but is there a deadline?</p>
<p>i think the deadline is for sometime next year to file the 2008-09 fafsa, but you can look on the website...the dates are somewhere towards the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>The 2008-2009 FAFSA can be filed until June 2009 because financial aid for summer of 2009 is based on the 2008-2009 FAFSA. Students taking classes for the first time in the summer of 2009 can file for financial aid this way. So the deadline is technically June 2009.</p>
<p>However if you are starting school in the fall of 2008 you will need to finalize before that as no aid will be distributed until you have done so. The sooner the better as any changes will change your financial aid package. If your EFC is lower when you finalize your numbers you may be entitled to more money but some funds are limited so may no longer be available later.</p>
<p>So the deadline is really As Soon As Possible.</p>
<p>thanks for the info swimcatsmom.</p>
<p>by the way swimcatsmom, if you have a efc for 2008-09 already, you can check the "pell grant payment schedule" at ifap.ed.gov. it's listed under "worksheets, schedules and tables".</p>
<p>just thought you should know...</p>
<p>Each state, as well as the individual school has their own deadlines - check with the financial aid administrators at the school you want to attend.</p>
