FAFSA for MPH 2014

[tac0d00d]

Anyone done with their FAFSAs? My schools that I am considering dont have scholarships/grants for MPH so I'll probably be borrowing the max amount per year for grad school

Did it back in February. Not expecting to get much in terms of grants/scholarships (applied to a few at my top choice). I do not want to take out anymore student loans so I'll be relying mostly on service grants from my two terms of Americorps and hopefully a part-time job.

Yep, I did it in February. It's pretty easy if you've done your taxes (I think you can even import that information), but you can also use last year's taxes as an estimate to get the information to your schools. Then you'll just have to update it as soon as your taxes are done.

 

Everyone should do the FAFSA. It's better to find out for sure what you qualify for, rather than assume you won't get anything. Also, the specific financial aid you get is done through your school, which might have a different determination of what you need or deserve based on the backgrounds of their students.
