Hi guys, I’m a bit confused by the timeline for fafsa. I’m planning to submit my transfer application this August and I will transfer to an UC next fall. Does the fafsa that I filed beginning of this year also cover for the Fall next year when I will be transferring? Or is fafsa 2017-2018 the one that’s going to cover for the financial aide when I’m transferred?
Thank you so much!!
bump? any input is welcomed!
You are correct in saying that fafsa 2017-2018 is for next year’s financial aid (2017-2018 school year).
The FAFSA you submitted earlier this year is for 2016-2017.
Just a quick note: starting this October you can submit your FAFSA for 2017-2018 (earlier than usual) using tax information from 2015!
This will be the new format for the upcoming years!
