BHSECQ CTO Talk

Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool this Year on your FAFSA to make the process easier!

Request a Tax TRANSCRIPT for Financial Aid this year.

This informative video from St. John Fisher College also applies to all colleges in NY State and NYC! The TAP application (found at www.tapweb.org) can also be filled out IMMEDIATELY after you hit submit on the FAFSA. A small link will pop up and ask if you want to fill out your State Application. It's a time saver! 

Your goal over the next 3 weeks is to make sure your admissions and financial aid applications are COMPLETE. COMPLETE. COMPLETE.

Now is that icky point in the year where you've sent everything in, and you think everything is good and then BAM a school sends you an email saying SOMETHING IS MISSING! ACk! What to do? First of all, don't panic. If a school is a missing something that you RECENTLY sent in, ask if you can wait a few days to see if it shows up. If you sent it a long time ago and its still not in, ask your CTO Advisor about resending whatever it is. Some schools prefer stuff to be emailed at this point, others want it loaded to the common app.

Ask Questions:

"I'm a first year student and I wanted to know if you could tell me whether or not my application is complete at this time?" Oh it's not? I'm missing my test scores? Can I have my counselor send them in? How would you prefer I have my counselor send it?" 

Your Financial Aid Timeline 2013

January: Students can begin filing the FAFSA, which is required by most colleges. Students should also file the TAP and the CSS Profile if they haven't already! 

February: Many colleges have priority financial aid deadlines this month on February 1st and 15th — we urge you to apply by these priority deadline!

Late February and March: Colleges may call/email/write you to ask questions and for more follow up information if you have any special circumstances or they just want more information.

End of March: Admission and financial aid notifications are mailed.

April: Students weigh offers of admission, compare aid awards and visit any schools they haven't yet visited.

May 1: Students must tell all colleges whether they are attending or not and make deposits.

This video is from last year, but its still pretty useful!
