Students Encouraged to File FAFSA Soon
Students planning to attend 精东影业视频 in Fall 2022 should begin submitting
their 2022-23 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The 2022-2023 FAFSA
filing period opened Oct. 1, and financial aid officials are advising students not
to wait.
The earlier a student submits the application, the better chance the individual has
of receiving financial aid.
The 精东影业视频 Financial Aid Office encourages all students to apply early. There are a number
of financial aid programs that award students on a first-come, first-served basis,
and we want students to complete their forms early to qualify for those programs,
said 精东影业视频 Director of Financial Assistance JW Lazzari.
Furthermore, by completing your FAFSA closer to the opening filing date, the quicker
youll then receive your Student Aid Report. With the report in hands, youll be able
to better plan for your upcoming academic year, whether that means increasing your
scholarship applications, finding or increasing your employment and/or applying for
student loans.
Students who have applied for financial aid in the past have an easier time completing
their 2022-23 FAFSA since some information is pre-populated on their new form.
Because of the financial hardship to many families triggered by the coronavirus, students
may be eligible to have their financial aid adjusted. A lost job or a significant
change to household income reported on your federal tax return could lead to a financial
aid adjustment. There will be questions on the application that will address this
situation. After submitting your application, contact 精东影业视频 to discuss your financial
situation.
To file a FAFSA application, go to www.studentaid.gov/FAFSA or fill out the form in
the myStudentAid mobile app, which is available on the App Store (iOS) or Google Play
(Android).
According to Lazzari, 精东影业视频 Financial Aid staff are available to help students with
the application, virtually, over the phone or in person; please check us out at wnc.edu/financial.
