<p>Hi guys I have a fafsa question. I'm a little confused on how it works. Like if I pay my tuition for college..then fill out fafsa..do i receive some of my paid money back?</p>
<p>Typically you would complete and submit FAFSA before the school’s priority aid deadline for the following academic year. Then the FA office can package your awards, which may include loans that you can either accept or decline.
