Key application dates and deadlines

The application processor must receive your completed application no later than July 2, 2007. Your school must have your correct and complete application information by your last day of enrollment during the 2006-07 year or September 17, 2007, whichever comes first. There are no exceptions to these dates.

Note also that various state and school deadlines may apply to you. These deadlines are often early in the calendar year (2006 for the 2006-07 award year). Check with your school's financial aid office to make sure you are aware of—and are able to meet—all student financial aid deadlines. Therefore, you should apply as soon after January 1, 2006 as possible. State deadlines are listed under "Check deadlines" on the FAFSA on the Web site, on the front of the new FAFSA on the Web Worksheet, and on the front of the paper FAFSA.
