Where’s My Financial Aid?

If you’ve submitted your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and you’ve received your FAFSA Submission Summary, you may be wondering when and how you’ll receive your financial aid.

If you’re accepted at a college or career/trade school that you listed on your FAFSA form, the school will send you a financial aid offer. It will include the types and amounts of financial aid that you’re being offered. Review your options carefully and make sure that you respond to your aid offer before the deadline listed. Your school’s financial aid office will disburse your financial aid to you at the start of the term.

Pro tip: We strongly recommend that students start and complete their sections of the FAFSA form first to save time and prevent errors. For more tips on completing the form, visit: https://StudentAid.gov/fafsatips
