- I believe you can only do it once each year. You need to start out with the FAFSA which is only once a year.
- I believe that you can only apply once for each school year. You need to check with your schools financial aid office for the best information on this. Depending on certain factors you may be eligible for a scholarship also. They should also be able to direct you to more info on this.
- You apply each time and have to meet the deadline. Go for as many as you can and go for the Pell Grant and other grants. They are free.
- Although you missed the deadline for fall aid, you can still apply for Federal Aid for the spring and summer semesters. Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Once it's been submitted, your financial aid office will notify you of your awards. As always, stay in contact with your financial aid office. Talk to a counselor and get advice. That's what they are there for. I should know, I was a financial aid counselor for many years! Good luck!!
- You can apply for FAFSA each academic your like 2007-2008 and and it will be applied for fall 07 and spring 08 and then you will have to renew it for 2008-2009 year
