APPLY FOR AID:
October 1: As soon as possible after October 1, 2009, complete and submit a 2010-2011 CSS/PROFILE Application at https://profileonline.collegeboard.com to be considered for all need-based university grants and scholarships, including the M-PACT Scholarship, Michigan Grant, Michigan Achievement Award, and any other need-based U-M scholarships. Note: Some students may be required to submit additional PROFILE documents (such as the Noncustodial Parent PROFILE) to be considered for need-based U-M grants and scholarships. The U-M Office of Financial Aid will contact students by email if they must submit additional documents.

Be sure to list U-M’s CSS Code 1839. The PROFILE costs $25 for the initial application and one school report. Each additional school report costs $16.

January 1: As soon as possible after January 1, 2010, complete and submit a 2010-2011 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processor at [FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid](http://www.fafsa.ed.gov) to be considered for all need-based and non-need-based federal and state aid programs, including the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Michigan Competitive scholarship, Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver, Perkins Loan, Health Professions Loan, Nursing Student Loan, Direct Loan, and Work-Study.

Be sure to use U-M’s Federal School Code 002325. There is no cost to complete the FAFSA. If you apply online, you will need a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to “sign” your FAFSA. One parent should also have his/her own PIN to “sign” your online FAFSA if you are a dependent student or an independent student applying for a Pharmacy or Dental Health Professions Loan. Go to [The PIN Web Site - Federal Student Aid](http://www.pin.ed.gov) to acquire your free PIN. For a paper copy of the FAFSA call 1-800-4-FEDAID, or download and print the FAFSA.



The above is from the UMich website. It sounds like they would like the Profile completed as soon as possible in order to be able to consider a student for the most aid applicable…as noted.

In addition, they want the FAFSA completed as well.

It’s a funny website…the “priority deadline” is listed as April 30…I found that very odd since the date to decide on a school is May 1.
