<p>Check with the schools you are applying to because I believe there is flexibility with Financial Aid because you do not necessarily have all of the prior year info. Complete the online form to the point where you are asked for supplemental documents. You have the options to upload or mail so there is some flexibility. The supplemental forms and documents are used to verify the information furnished online. Looking at the financial aid info on my son’s school, the deadline is 1/15/2014. I hope this is helpful.</p>
