Too late to apply for Fin Aid?

<p>My student got accepted (non-binding). Albert says: "award access not available".</p>

<p>At application time, we did not file the CSS and FAFSA because
we did not have a need. Since filing the application, the situation has changed. </p>

<ul>
<li><p>Can we still file the CSS Profile and FAFSA ? Some colleges have "priority deadline"s for Fin Aid and allow Fin Aid applications beyond this priority date.</p></li>
<li><p>If we now sought out school scholarships would those generally require a Fin Aid application to be on file ? </p></li>
<li><p>Is it fair to assume, that Fin Aid Office will not offer any aid, especially given that no aid
application was filed, even if my the school found my student to be desirable.</p></li>
<li><p>Can we file for Fin Aid next year, if necessary, or are we "locked in" ?</p></li>
<li><p>If we filed for Fin Aid now, would this be considered an appeal ?</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I would call financial aid office with these questions as you have a specific situation.</p>
