Every school has a different “priority” deadline for FAFSA. Most of my son’s are March 1. From what I understand, they wait until after that day to start figuring everyone’s financial aid. (Schools with ED and EA may have different systems). And, you can still submit FAFSA after the deadline - it just might mean smaller institutional aid. If you qualify for Pells and Staffords, I think you can still get those even if you submit late.
