That June 30 deadline is June 30 at the end of their college academic year…not June 30 of the high school year. The FAFSA can be filed any time before June 30 of the academic year…although all filings must be complete and processed before the actual academic year for your college ends.
@kelsmom will correct me if I’m wrong.
Re: deadlines. Deadlines for everything are listed on every college website…and those deadlines vary wildly. You should make note of the deadlines that you need to adhere to…and do NOT miss them for either applications or financial aid.
Things to really look for…
- Any priority deadlines for things like scholarship considerations, financial aid, honors colleges, etc.
- Deadlines for early action and early decision if those are what you are doing.
