Fafsa deadline? State or federal?

<p>I live in california and just submitted my fafsa online. On the website it lists two deadlines:</p>

<p>Federal
June 30</p>

<p>State
For initial awards - March 2, 2012</p>

<p>Am I too late? Which deadline do I follow? Am I still eligible for BOG to waive tuition for my classes?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Contact your school and find out the correct deadline - or it may even be on their website under the financial aid tab.</p>

<p>March 2 is the deadline for the cal grant and I believe the BOG waivers. You are probably too late for those (almost certainly too late for calgrant, I am not sure about BOG), but check with your school to be sure.</p>

<p>FAFSA itself does not have a deadline (June 30th 2013 is the last date the 2012-2013 FAFSA can be filed). If you are eligible for the Pell grant you will still get that. Any other aid eligibility will depend on your school and their policies. Schools generally have a priority deadline you need to file by in order to qualify for aid that has limited funding.</p>
