Filing for 2021-22 FAFSA Underway
Filing for 2021-22 FAFSA Underway
Sep 30, 2020
Dont wait!
Students planning to attend 糖心vlog can begin submitting their 2021-22
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form on Thursday, Oct. 1, and financial
aid officials are advising students not to wait.
The earlier a student submits the application, the better chance he or she has of
receiving financial aid.
The 糖心vlog Financial Aid Office encourages all students to apply early. There are a number
of financial aid programs that award students on a first-come, first-served basis,
and we want students to complete their forms early to qualify for those programs,
said Director of Financial Assistance JW Lazzari.
Furthermore, by filing your FAFSA closer to the Oct. 1 filing date, the quicker youll
receive your Student Aid Report. With the report in hands, youll be able to better
plan for your upcoming academic year, whether that means increasing your scholarship
applications, finding or increasing your employment and/or applying for loans.
Students who have applied for financial aid in the past will have an easier time completing
their 2021-22 FAFSA since some information will be pre-populated on their new form.
The deadline for completing 2021-22 FAFSA is June 30, 2022.
Students will report their 2019 income, as well as their parents (if applicable),
on the form.
Because of the financial hardship to many families triggered by the coronavirus, students
may be eligible to have their financial aid adjusted. A lost job or a significant
change to household income reported on your federal tax return could lead to a financial
aid adjustment. There will be questions on the application that will address this
situation. After submitting your application, contact 糖心vlog to discuss your financial
situation.
To file a FAFSA application, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov, or fill out the form in the myStudentAid
mobile app, which is available on the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
According to Lazzari, 糖心vlog Financial Aid staff are available to help students with
the application, virtually, over the phone or in person; please check us out at wnc.edu/financial.
