<p>Anyone have a clue when i need to start applying for loans and fafsa?</p>
<p>The FAFSA won't be available for filing for the 2009-2010 school year until January 1, 2009. If you are applying to colleges that require the CSS Profile, check their deadlines carefully. The Profile becomes available for filing in early October.</p>
<p>If you are applying ED or EA or for any kind of priority scholarship you need to check the deadlines carefully as well as know which form(s) you need to complete.</p>
<p>okay
how about loans? im trying to go to Rice Univ. but ill need at least 15k in loans depending on the aide i get..</p>
<p>iambored10...if it were me, I'd wait until I got my financial aid awards (Oh...and acceptances) to apply for loans. You'll have plenty of time.</p>
