I am trying to help my nephew as his parents aren’t helpful to him. He is transferring schools. Has he missed any deadlines for FASFA? Does he still have time to apply prior to starting school in the Fall of 2016?
Schools have different deadlines. Check the website. I know it’s also different for new vs continuing students. Might also be different for transfers.
Thank you ClaremontMom, does the FASFA or School website have those deadlines?
Check your school website. It should list everything you need and when it’s due.
He has not missed the deadline since he could still file up to the end of the term in which he wants the funds (May 2017?). He may have missed the priority deadline for his new school, but there is nothing he can do about that except file ASAP. He also may not have missed them. Both of my kids had 3/1 deadlines last year as they were returning students.
If he is a transfer student, it’s possible that his FAFSA deadline for school funds is actually later than for freshmen. Check the college website.
