You may be wondering why there is a deadline date and what happens if the application is received after this date. Deadline dates for financial aid are established because of the shortage of available funds in many programs, especially grant and scholarship programs.
Applications received by the deadline date receive priority status.
If there is not enough funds to meet the needs of all of the students applying by this date, the calculated need for each student is ranked from highest to lowest need and funds are awarded until all monies are exhausted. Students may apply for certain programs at any time because funds are always available to qualified students. These programs include Federal Pell Grant, Federal Stafford Loan or Federal PLUS Loan. Remember Radford University's Federal School Code number is 003732 .
