Well, believe it or not, there are deadlines. And better to stick out on them because of the limited aid.
Oh, wow. That's some pressure there. Well, for example, what can you tell me about deadlines for federal things?
Well, you have those for the 2020-21 Academic Year. In that regard, your FAFSA form must be submitted by 11:59 p.m Central time, June 30, 2021 and any corrections before 11:59 p.m Central, September 11, 2021.
Ohh, wow, very specific. And for those State ones?
For those, you have to find out with each state, as each of them has its own deadline. Plus, you have to look depending on Academic Year.
