Time to Fill Out Your FAFSA

Submitted by georgiana on Fri, 02/13/2009 - 02:01.

Students and parents of students should be working on their FAFSAs, which is the free application for financial aid. You're going to need your tax information before you start. It's somewhat tedious but you can do it online and it's not so bad, given the rewards.

Take a look at the deadline for your state and your school because some deadlines are very soon. For instance there is a February fifteenth date for some scholarships and I believe March first is another important deadline.

If you are in school this semester, or last semester, and didn't apply for the 2008/2009 school year it's not too late. You have until June 30th.
