  1. Your level of financial assistance from your college this year is based on the FAFSA that you completed which looks at your earnings from 2005. When you complete your FAFSA for the 2007-2008 academic year, it will be based on your earnings from 2006. So, depending on when you started your new job, your financial aid may not change until the 2008-2009 academic year, when you complete the FAFSA with your 2007 earnings. The financial aid office bases your financial aid package solely on the information from the FAFSA and any other forms that they may require.
