Fifty-eight days . . . yes, 58! January 1 is that close. FAFSA opens for applications for the 2014-2015 academic year January 1.
Financial aid is mostly distributed on a "first come, first served" basis. Our recommendation is that every family complete FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon after January 1 as is practical.
True, you will not have your taxes done by then. Does not matter. Use your 2012 return or your best guess about what 2013 will look like. But get it done.
Elsewhere on this website under "Student" there is more information. Alongside of that are three more articles you will want to read.
Reach out to us for help with FAFSA, retirement questions and any other college and financial concerns you have. We get it -- we're parents, too!
