Fee for FAFSA and re-submitting it and Profile

Paying for College

<p>First time FAFSA-filler-outer here.</p>

<p>Is there a fee for submitting FAFSA (I know that it stands for free application for federal student aid, but that never stopped the gov't for charging $ for things).</p>

<p>So if there is a fee, then do we end up paying twice when submitting it with estimates and then going back and updating it with the real data?</p>

<p>Also, we have submitted PROFILE to 2 colleges D applied EA at. I realized I put some incorrect numbers on it. Can I update it and re-submit and then will I have to pay again?</p>

<p>There is no fee for FAFSA.</p>

<p>If the FAFSA site asks for a fee you are at the wrong site. Make sure it is the ed.gov site, not the.com site.</p>

<p>I don’t believe you can update profile online. According to what I have read on CC, you have to send corrections to the individual schools.</p>

<p>The FAFSA site can be accessed now with just “.gov” - although “.ed.gov” will also work. NEVER a charge for FAFSA.</p>

<p>Profile will charge you once (per school, I think) - but all updates are made directly through the individual schools as there is no way to update a Profile the way you can update the FAFSA.</p>
