<p>I don't know what to do! I missed the 7/1 deadline for the 07-08 fafsa application. Can someone please help me? I applied late to schools and just got accepted to the school I wanted to go to this week. I wasn't expecting to get any scholarships but I honestly didn't know that I had to file a fafsa to get student loans too. Has anyone gone through this? Is it even possible to get a loan/aid without filing a fafsa or turning it in late? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.</p>
<p>Was that 7-1 deadline the college deadline? The 2007-08 FAFSA is available for filing until next year (end of 2007-08school year). If this was a school deadline, call the finaid office. I would file the thing today.</p>
<p>Call the financial aid office to beg and grovel! If that doesn't work, there are plenty of outside sources for loans. I suggest filing the FAFSA on Jan 1 or 2 next year.</p>
<p>also -- if you are filing in order to get a pell grant or stafford loans (both subsidized and unsubsidized) there should be no deadline for those. They are federal financial aid and are always available.</p>
<p>ok, sorry I guess I just panicked it was the 2006-2007. But, I'm hoping there's still time to get a loan before the fall. Does anyone have experience with applying for loans late in the year? Do I have a chance of still being able to attend school in the fall?</p>
<p>^ bump, i'd like to know as well</p>
<p>for the most part, federal financial aid (pell grants and stafford loans) are available at anytime -- there is no cut off date. unless you are attending a very inexpensive school and living at home, that won't pay for college -- but the funds are available. community colleges in particular admit students and process financial aid up to two weeks after the start of classes (including spring semester). </p>
<p>just fill out the FAFSA and submit it.</p>
