[Geoldept] FW: Advisor Listserve - new FAFSA Timeline and Priority Filing Deadline

[Theresa Tripp]

Hi All-
I am sure that you have already received this information but thought I would pass it along just in case.

Big news for financial aid applicants!

The earliest date students can submit a FAFSA for next year is changing from January 1, 2017 to October 1, 2016.

Beginning this October 1, it is time to fill out the 2017-2018 FAFSA -- almost a year before classes start next fall.

Along with the new, earlier, FAFSA filing date, the WWU FAFSA priority filing deadline is now January 31 instead of February 15. Students should complete next year's FAFSA between October 1, 2016, and January 31, 2017 - the earlier the better!

Find out more about this new FAFSA filing date and other important changes on the WWU Financial Aid Website at http://www.finaid.wwu.edu/client_services/pages/early_fafsa.php.

Sincerely,

The Financial Aid Department
