Soooo I didn’t realize that you’re supposed to fill out the FAFSA AFTER you apply to college… I’ve applied absolutely nowhere but just submitted it. What’s going to happen now? will this affect how much money I can be awarded?
It is not before or after the application, it is just the wrong year. Forms for 2016-2017 is not available until next year. If you mean to apply for aids for 2015-2016, it is a bit late, but you can add schools and submit again.
Oh wow, I guess I just applied for the wrong year. Thank you!
If you’re going to start college in fall 2016, the 2016-2017 fafsa will be available on 1/1/16. Don’t worry about having filled out the 2015-2016 fafsa.
