FAFSA is the free federal application form for financial aid, which is generally the first step to apply for college financial assistance. Federal student financial aid deadlines generally run from July 1 of the current year to June 30 of the next calendar year. Free FAFSA application forms are available online at Fasfa.Ed.Gov web site. Check the FASFA Ed Gov web site and also your college Financial Aid web site for updates and school specific datelines.

College Year 2007-2008 FAFSA Application

FAFSA application deadline for the new college year is July 1st, 2007 to June 30th, 2008. New students must submit their FASFA application on the FASFA Ed Gov web site by midnight central daylight time June 30, 2008. Students continuing their education must renew each year by the same application deadline date. A note also, that your college must receive your complete and correct FASFA form information by your last day of enrollment in the 2007-2008 college year.

Schools and States may have their own deadlines and application forms necessary to award student financial aid. Check with your financial aid office for information specific to your needs. In other words, watch for application deadlines on 3 levels: Federal, State, and School.

Private Student Loans

If you happen to miss the FASFA application deadline or if Federal student assistance is not enough, try to apply for a Private Student Loan. Private Student Loans are available online from $1,000 to $35,000 per college education year. Loan proceeds can be use for college tuition, room, board, books, student fees, laptop computer, printer and other education related expenses.
