Why You Shouldn’t Wait Too Long to Complete the FAFSA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your child is a senior in high school, or already a college student, this is an important time of year. Financial aid for next year\u2019s tuition costs might seem like a distant concern, but now is the time to apply. While there are many forms of financial aid available through the federal government, private organizations, individual states and directly from colleges, some sources are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The first step toward accessing any of these funds is to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed many households under financial strain, and it\u2019s likely that it will be more competitive to acquire need-based aid such as grants and scholarships, which do not have to be repaid. Referencing a recent poll of parents<\/a>, Manny Chagas, vice president of Discover Student Loans said, \u201cOur survey found that 48% of parents lost income as a result of the pandemic, and 44% said they can\u2019t afford to pay for as much of their child\u2019s education as they had originally planned.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n The FAFSA must be completed to be considered for financial aid. The online application opens on October 1st<\/sup> of the year prior to entering college. It\u2019s not necessary for high school seniors to have selected the colleges to which they will apply in order to complete the FAFSA. At the time of application, you must list at least one college you\u2019d like to receive information regarding your financial needs, and more colleges can be added at a later date as you narrow down your choices. If your child is already a college student, the FAFSA must still be completed each year as federal student aid does not carry over. However, the FAFSA renewal process should be quicker and easier as some information will be pre-filled from the previous year\u2019s application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While 2020 has many of us facing challenges we have never experienced before, it\u2019s important to continue to take steps to ensure a healthy financial future.
