Question : How does missing the state FAFSA deadline affect my federal aid chances?
My state FAFSA deadline was April 1 but I'll definately be able to get the federal application done in time. I start grad school in a month. If I filled out the FAFSA now am I in danger of not getting the funds in time?

I think it only took about a week or so for my aidto be taken care of, I filled mine out quite late,like about 2 weeks ago. You may get less aid butyou should still get something.

State deadlines don't do anything to federal funds(that are all through the government) but specificstate funds you probably will not receive becausemoney will have already been given out. Thosefunds are decided based upon your EFC that FAFSAgives out.

Missing the state deadline means you won't get anystate aid. Waiting only a month before classesstart before completing the fafsa could mean yourfin aid package and "Award Letter" won't be readyuntil after school starts and after the schoolwants their money.... which is ok I suppose if youhave that kind of cash laying around. Those whoget the best fin aid packages applied back inFeb/March. Don't forget to do it at that timenext year,
