Hello I submitted my FAFSA to my community college about a month ago, because I had a recent change of schools. And my question is since I recently had to pay a little over $200 for my classes at the Community college, will FAFSA reimburse the money I spent once my school processes my FAFSA. Or is that money that I will never get back. My school says it will take another 3 weeks for them to fully process my FAFS but I already had to pay for some classes. Thank You very much!! and please ask any questions if necessary
FAFSA is just a form. You will not get any funds from a program called FAFSA (because there is no program). Colleges use the information you provided on the form to determine if you qualify for financial aid. Whether you get any money will depend on many things: your family’s financial circumstances, your state of residence, availability of grants, etc. After they process the FAFSA, the school will send you a letter detailing what, if any, money you will get.
What was your FAFSA EFC, and what is the cost to attend your college?
