<p>As thenextbigthing says, no, your aid will not be less than those who turned in tax returns earlier. Even those who are unable to turn their returns in until April will receive all the aid for which they are eligible - the only problem is that the package may not be presented in time to consider all your options before the May 1st commitment deadline. Those with that situation should contact the schools they are still considering to request extensions of the commitment deadline.</p>
