<p>When I did my fafsa i did it with my dads information but i live with my mom so they made me change it. but my mom got married and her husband is a pilot for some country's airline so they needed an extension on their tax return. i turned in my moms part of her taxes but now they are asking for her spouses, which isnt done yet. so my question is, Is there a deadline i have to have this in by? ive talked to the school and fafsa and they just say send it as soon as possible. also will i even have a chance for grants this late? and if i dont have it done by when school starts can they not let u in the school?
im going to niu if that changes anything
thanks
oh and when i got on my niu account it says due by august 17</p>
<p>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>
<p>You can actually file the FAFSA up until June of next year for this year. At some point the school has to tell you what they need in order to put together an award, given a tax return is not available. The answer is to see what the financial aid officer needs, you should really make this situation clear to them. Problem is you might not have the aid money by the time the bill is due.</p>
<p>Most people who file for tax extensions must file their final return in August anyway. You need to talk with your mom immediately as this is very late to file FAFSA. It almost certainly will affect the amount of grant money available, as this is a limited pool that is generally given on a “first come first served” basis. At this point, you will very likely have to pay the full fall semester bill by August 17th and get any refunds that may be due after your aid package is finalized.</p>
<p>If you are eligible for a Pell grant, that is an entitlement - meaning you’ll get it even if you complete your verification late. You can get loans late, too, as long as you get them WHILE you are still enrolled (you can’t get a loan for fall after the term is over if you aren’t enrolled in the winter term, for example). Other aid may no longer be available to you … it’s a limited pool of funds that is generally awarded in a first-come-first-served fashion to those who complete all of their financial aid requirements (including verification) in a timely manner. In addition, some schools will drop students from their classes if charges are not paid by a certain date. If your aid isn’t ready, you may have to come up with the money yourself to stay in classes.</p>
