This was my last semester at a community college, and I had not applied for financial aid for about 2 years. After the headache of applications, supplemental applications, scholarship applications, program applications, transcript requests, and a variety of personal problems, I had no clue about that date. My question is can I appeal/petition for this? I have countless documentation that prove that my life has been pretty bad recently. My GPA verification form was submitted by my school; however, I did my FAFSA a week late. I’d appreciate any help. Thank you!
Call them.
Ok. So I gave them a call as soon as I could, and they said they are really strict on the deadline. So I’m out of luck. If the GPA verification had been late, I could have petition that with an out-of-my-control excuse. Thanks anyways!
Does this mean those of us who missed that deadline would also not get the opportunity for work-study?
Work study is a Federal Program. Cal Grant is for California grant aid. If you’ve filled out the FAFSA, you should be okay. Remember that not everyone gets work-study. It is based on the income.
