When to fill out FAFSA?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys! 
 

i am currently accepted into a program that starts in January 2020 but am waitlisted at my top program that starts in May 2020. When do I have to fill out FAFSA for Jan 2020 start date? Do I have to wait to know for sure what school I am going to before I fill it out? I wasn’t sure either when I absolutely have to fill it out if I’m potentially starting in January 2020. 
 

thanks in advance!

I was wondering the same thing. My program starts May 2020.

Now.  Fill it out now.  Or wait til your school tells you to.

FAFSA works on the school calendar year (i.e fall 2019 - spring/summer 2020).

Filling it out now shouldn't hurt you.  I filled mine out in January and just listed all the programs I MIGHT be accepted to (i.e had pending interviews or had been waitlisted).  Wasn't an issue as far as I know.
