Must be into office by June 10 Financial Aid Information Financial Aid season is coming up quickly and I wanted
to list some resources here. First of all, I gave a packet
of information to the seniors just before Christmas break that
contains lots of information. Dates to remember: February 15-March 1- Most colleges set a deadline in this range for when FAFSA must be filed to be eligible for financial aid from the university or college. Resources: www.fafsa.ed.gov links you to the online filing system for FAFSA. Remember, you can't file until after January 1, 2012. All filers are encouraged to use the on-line application process but if you need a hard copy, you can down load it at www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov The Ohio Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators web site is full of good information, and so is the Federal Governments financial aid website, studentaid.ed.gov Parent Information Nights !NEW!
