Students will now have until May 1 to apply for aid grants and loans.
AUSTIN, Texas — Students across the U.S. often rely on financial aid to afford higher education. On Tuesday, one Central Texas community college announced its plans to extend Free Application for Federal Student Aid priority deadlines for its students. Typically, applications for an upcoming school year are due by June 30 on a federal level, but this extension gives students until May 1 to complete their forms.
Additionally,"Applicants will be able to skip as many as 26 questions, depending on their individual circumstances. Some applicants could answer as few as 18 questions, which could take less than 10 minutes." Last year, the deadline in Texas was in January. In general, it is recommended that students submit applications sooner rather than later.
