<p>My son got into Stanford but we never applied for FA thinking we could manage. However, some negative economic factors recently came about that has brought us to worry about the tuition. Is it too late to ask for FA for this year? what about next year will we have the same chance of getting FA ( "same" I mean like as in the beginng when we had the chance to check the FA box on the common application? thanks any comments will be appreciated</p>
<p>no, if you log on to the admitted student website and go to the financial aid section, it specifically says that FA are processed on a rolling basis. So, you should send in your FAFSA and any other documents right away if you want to receive an estimate before May 1st.</p>
<p>thanks so much for the info!!</p>
