I was filling out a FAFSA for the first time just to see how the process is, not knowing that when I confirmed it I would be sending or processing it. I will only be eligible for college in 2018. Can I stop the process? It says it is being processed and sent to my colleges. If it goes through, what happens?
What should I do?
I also still haven’t put the parental signatures on, will that cancel it?
It won’t process without parent signatures.
It doesn’t matter. If you aren’t going to any school, you can’t get any aid.
If you aren’t going to college until fall 2018, the FAFSA you need to complete isn’t even available yet. The one currently up is for the 2017-18 academic year. If you submitted that one…it would go in the dead letter file.
You will need to complete the 2018-2019 FAFSA for fall 2018 enrollment…and that won’t even be online until October 1.
