How long did it take for you?

Replies BritchesAndHose Posted at 12:10 am on June 26, 2009 it only took a few days to process mine, but i've spent a couple of months going back and forth with paperwork for my school. my school makes fin aid a VERY complicated process. fafsa was nothing though. See Me Now Posted at 9:38 am on June 25, 2009 Once it's processed you can look at it online. I don't remember all of the things you can learn from there, but basically what you're waiting for now is an award letter from the school. That will say what the government/school is offering you. for example, I filled out the forms and all that, but i haven't actually applied to schools yet, since i'm doing it online. So I haven't gotten any paperwork, because its got to come from the school. CmplctedCheerGrl Posted at 9:37 am on June 25, 2009 I sent my FAFSA in and got all the shit done for it (questionairre, lots of phone talking etc), and got the confirmation about a 3 weeks later.   If it takes more than a month, you probably did something wrong.  That or there's a high volume for FAFSAs when you sent your sin. hI jAMES Posted at 9:33 am on June 25, 2009 The time varies but typically around a month, I'd say.  You can go online and check out your EFC and status of your FAFSA by logging in and selecting the appropriate links.  It will also say whether or not you will be awarded a federal pell grant.  But the FAFSA will also help you get school scholarships.  These scholarships' time frame of being awarded depend on the school.
