@stevemerr while some colleges may only require the FAFSA to be completed for the application to be considered most will have a priority CSS deadline for ED students that you don’t want to miss if you want to to get the aid offer early so that final decision can be made. I always recommend filling that out in October also when the FAFSA should be completed…You should be able to find the CSS priority deadline for ED students right on the website under “financial aid deadlines”.
