You wait. If you are like MY daughter (an honor student who is white and graduated with a 4.3 gpa), you will get a letter that says you received a small student loan…that was it. If you are like my niece (who is half Guatemalan and graduated with a 2.1 gpa), you will receive all kinds of free money and financial aid…adding up to a free ride at a major university AND a guaranteed job for spending money. As my brother says, marrying a foreigner was the best thing he could have done financially for his children.

Check with the financial aid office at the school to make sure they have your FAFSA results. If they do then they will start processing your aid eligibility. Ask them the time-line so you’ll know when to start looking for your aid letter. If they don’t have your FAFSA results, work with them on finding out why and getting the results to them. No FAFSA info means no aid. And, make sure you follow up asap on any request for additional information. Same thing…if they are waiting on additional paperwork they can’t process your aid until the information is submitted and reviewed. Don’t be a pain, but keep on top of this as you’ll want everything finalized to help pay your bill in the fall.

usually as quickly as you have submitted your FAFSA the colleges you chosen to acquire your effects will make you an furnish of your economic help award. This incorporates any provides, loans or paintings study which you would be eligible for. you would be required to take an front counseling in you acquire loans. This purely instructs you of your rights and household initiatives as a borrower. All loans are federally funded now, so which you will no longer could desire to discover your man or woman lender. you will could desire to sign a grasp promissory be conscious that legally binds you on your man or woman loan. in case you have any questions bearing directly to the technique purely ask your economic help workplace at your college. this is why they’re there. this is confusing the 1st few cases you settle for help. stable success!

You will receive a Student Aid Report. Make corrections if needed then send back. If no corrections are needed, leave it alone. Your schools financial aid office will then send you an award letter. You will either accept or decline the award letter and send that back to your school. Good Luck.

FAFSA and your financial aid dept communicate to get your funds in order. If you want to know how things are going, contact your schools financial aide officer. They should be able to keep you up to date.

if you had put your school code in on your FAFSA then the school will automatically have your information. if by chance you did not put that school down then you can print off your information and give it to them, or the will contact the government for your report. what are you going to school for?

The school takes care of it all, youdon’t have to do anything with it after you fill it out unless you are selected for Verification. So, unless you get a letter from your school notifying you of your verification, then you have nothing to worry about.

you should call your school, and ask them to send you the letter that tells you how much you’re getting.

I should have sent it b4 Feb 16, you might not get too much money if you sent it later!
