Financial Aid deadlines are fast approaching. Have you filled out your financial aid forms? If not go here immediately- FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
Federal deadlines are June 30th, 2009
But- Many state deadlines are much earlier!
You must fill out a FAFSA form in order to be eligible for Pell grants, Stafford loans, Perkins loans, work-study programs and state aid packages. You can select up to ten schools at a time to receive your application information. When filling out the form don't forget to check the box for work-study. Many schools offer job opportunities through the work-study program such as lab monitors, gallery sitters, clay mixing, studio assistant, the list is endless; but not if you forget to check the work-study box.
The Rhode Island State Grant Program has a March 1 priority deadline. CCRI has a priority date of May 1. You can find lots of information online from the CCRI Office of Financial Aid.
Check the Financial Aid office on your projected college's web-site to determine the priority dates for the college/s you are hoping to attend.
Here is a recent article in the NY Times on FAFSA and student financial aid for college.
The Big Test Before College? The Financial Aid Form
dont lose your pin, i did and had to get a new one....and also remember if you use a hard copy application to check your info when it gets received, they had a few things wrong on mine like telephone number etc ( overall i think it is better to apply online)
