financial aid confusion

<p>Okay, I'm getting mixed signals from Northwestern right now. On their Financial Aid application sheet, it says that most of the due dates are March 1 but on the Financial Aid thing they emailed me, it says the deadline is February 1st, a pretty huge difference. Can somebody tell me when the real dadline for the CSS, FAFSA, and Northwestern's Financial Aid Application is due? thanks alot</p>

<p>Feb. 1st. And I'm pretty sure Northwestern doesn't have their own fin aid app. You just have to send fafsa, css, and tax returns.</p>

<p>Considering that that application is out of date, I would say that its irrevelant. I don't know if northwestern used to use their own fin aid app last year, but as far as I know, all you have to submit for this yr are the css, fafsa, and tax returns. None of the notifications that I have received from NU mention anything about their own fin aid app.</p>

<p>FASFA and CSS are due Feb.1st. Completed tax returns are due March 1st. We have received a letter indicating this. I emailed the school as I was confused because I filed FASFA and CSS on Jan. 1st. They confirmed my CSS but cannot confirm my FASFA until Feb.1st.</p>

<p>Thanks girls4mom - you are correct! For freshman applicants, we require the FAFSA and CSS profile by February 1 and the tax forms by March 1. The form hyper2freak7 is referring to is the University Aid Application and is only required for returning students.</p>

<p>Hi LauraR, I submitted a request yesterday to the Collegeboard for my CSS PROFILE to be sent to Northwestern. When I checked my status, I realized that the date my CSS is scheduled to be sent is 2/4/07, past the deadline. Is this going to be a problem?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Odin64x - Could you please email NU's financial aid office at <a href="mailto:newstudentaid@northwestern.edu">newstudentaid@northwestern.edu</a> with your specific question? Thanks!</p>
