Financial Aid and Applying to Multiple Schools

<p>I have applied to Nazareth (accepted), RIT and I will probably apply to U of R.</p>

<p>I haven’t filed the FAFSA yet, my parents and I are filing are taxes this Saturday.</p>

<p>A lot of people say that this school offered them this and that school offered them that. How exactly does that work? I get that you apply to all of them and list them on the FAFSA but then what happens? What would be my next step?</p>

<p>You wait to hear about your acceptances and your financial aid offers. Then you get to decide where you can attend.</p>

<p>You should check financial aid deadlines with each school you are applying to and find out what exactly each school requires–FAFSA only, FAFSA and PROFILE, supplemental application, etc. You should file your FAFSA ASAP! You don’t have to wait for your parent taxes to be filed. You can check on the form “will file” then go back and amend the form if necessary.</p>

<p>How much did you father earn? box, do I include unemployment, line 19</p>

<p>my dad received money from an annuity loan, line 16b do I include that in that box as well.</p>

<p>Then what do I do about 38 dollars of taxable interest, line 8a. Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m assuming from your list that you’re in NY. There may be a link to the TAP application at the end of FAFSA. If not, you’ll receive an email instucting you to go to the HESC website and fill out the app there. Good luck!</p>
