Is this going to be a problem?

Paying for College
1

<p>I had my name changed 2-3 weeks ago, but all my applications, test scores, & etc. were in my old name.</p>

<p>For the CSS and FAFSA, I used my old name, since I thought they wouldn't be able to match the finaid to the application. But the name and SSN doesn't match now; will this be a problem?</p>

<p>You need to straighten this out. The colleges will want a match between your name and your name on your SS card. I'd give them a call and see how you can reconcile this.</p>

<p>I'm sure this has happened before (e.g. students who marry would have this situation). There must be a way to deal with it.</p>

<p>Darn. Now I'll have to call all ten of my schools. :(</p>

<p>Thanks for the warning.</p>
