<p>What date do you have to fill out and send in your form by?</p>
<p>Check the FAFSA website and the schools you are applying to. They each have their deadline dates. Remember if you are applying online you need a pin and I'm not sure that is given to you right away. Last year it too 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Also check if your state has any state aid that has different deadlines. For instance my state has an April deadline for their state aid. California has a March one etc. </p>
<p>Really the earlier you can file the better.</p>
