When is the deadline to apply for need-based financial aid?
The Office of Financial Aid recommends that you submit your FAFSA to the Department of Education no later than February 14. Once you submit your FAFSA, it can take up to six weeks for the processed results to arrive at Berklee. The priority deadline, by which your processed FAFSA, and any additional documents that may be requested, must be received, is May 1st. If you miss these deadlines, you are still encouraged to apply for need-based aid, as some forms of aid will remain available.
