Forget about the deadline you see (June 30, 2009) at the FAFSA web site. States typically have earlier deadlines (find your state deadline here), and colleges may have even earlier deadlines.
Imagine this. Financial aid officials at your first choice college are sitting around a table in February. They're reviewing a list and planning to offer some campus based aid to prospective students. You qualify perfectly! You should be at the top of their list. You're not though, because you didn't get around to filing the FAFSA yet.
They will never mention this, and you'll never know what you missed. Sad, isn't it? Please read more or get to work on your FAFSA now!
