Application Deadlines – State Deadlines

To be Considered for Federal Financial Aid, You Must Submit a Completed FAFSA on Time!

2009 – 2010 State Deadlines


You can file your FAFSA starting January 1st. Federal aid is generally offered on a first come, first served basis, so it is critical to turn your FAFSA form in as soon as possible after the first of the year. Missing a deadline could cost you thousands of dollars in potential financial aid. Don’t delay, it only pays to file your FAFSA form today.

Please note: some colleges reference the date by which your FAFSA must be submitted, while others reference the date your completed aid application must be sent by the federal processor to a college’s financial aid office.
