When do I start for applying for financial aid?

<p>I'm a little lost on the whole process. When are usually the earliest deadlines?</p>

<p>If you are applying ED it might be now. Check the college’s web sites.</p>

<p>ED - estimate your family’s incomes in 2012 and to apply for FA now.</p>

<p>RD - estimate your family’s incomes in 2012 and to apply for FA soon after 1/1/13.</p>
