I filed my CSS profile back in November and filed for FAFSA January 2nd. I’ve gotten into 4 schools currently, waiting on 5. For the 5 that I am waiting on I understand I will get my FA package in the spring, but for the schools I have gotten into already (and received merit scholarships from all) when will I get my FA? USF said min january so I am expecting that soon, but the other schools didn’t mention. Thanks!
You probably won’t get a package until after your parents up load their tax information iusing the IRS data retrieval tool. If your parents don’t file taxes then you won’t get a package until you go through the verification process.
You have until May 1 to make a decision. If you need to make a housibg deposit check to see if it is refundable (it usually is), make the deposit to hold your housibg spot.
