Is FAFSA required to get subsidized loans?

Is your daughter hoping to transfer immediately?

If the only thing you want is the federally funded student loans, you can apply anytime for those loans. Just keep in mind your timeline. If you need that money to pay the fall bill, you might want to file sooner than later…so you also then have time for the school to receive her loan as part of the fall payment.

Honestly, there isn’t a downside to doing the FAFSA now. If you are hoping for a fall 2019 transfer, you have already done the 2019-2020 FAFSA, right? This means all you need to do is go into that…and amend to add the additional colleges.

If she is transferring fall 2020, that FAFSA won’t be available until October 1.

When is she transferring?

Did you get a clear answer from Rochester as to why aid was cut in half? Is there any chance you did an IRA or TSA rollover in 2017? @taverngirl
