Who should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA?
Early FAFSA applicants can begin receiving award letters in June if all documents have been received to complete their financial aid file. If your FAFSA was processed after July 1st, you may receive your Award Letter 4 5 weeks after the college receives your application information. Keep in mind that the later you file your FAFSA, the more likely there will be a delay in the processing of an Award Letter and receiving your funding on the first disbursement for the semester. The delay results from a high number of students waiting until registration for classes to complete financial aid applications.
