Easy Aid - 2008-2009 FAFSA Deadlines

2008-2009 FAFSA Deadlines

The federal deadline for the 2008-2009 FAFSA application is June 30, 2009.

Most states have their own deadlines for state aid. You must follow this deadline to be considered for state aid such ad TAP, CAL Grant, and MAP.

If you would like to be considered for state aid, you must get your FAFSA in before the state deadline.

Federal money does not run out so if you are late for the state deadline, you will still be eligible for federal aid.

Make sure you watch the deadlines for scholarships also. Scholarships have deadlines early in the year. Some scholarships will also want a copy of your SAR. It is a good idea to print one from the Internet with your PIN and make several copies.

Check the list below for your state deadline. Double check with the school to ensure they do not have their own deadlines.
