Yes, you may file a FAFSA past this date and still be considered for awards including the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Stafford Loans and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). However, March 2nd of each year is a Cal Grant deadline so we encourage you to file by this date. Also, certain grants are dependent on the availability of funds so it is always a good idea to file early.
