<p>Some schools give a $500-$1,000 award for submitting your FAFSA by a specific date.</p>
<p>Probably to encourage parents/students not to wait til the last minute?</p>
<p>Is this a re-occuring award-- say every year when you file?</p>
<p>Yes, it is at my son’s school; as long as the FAFSA is filed every year prior to the stated deadline.</p>
