In addition to the state deadlines students need to definitely check with their intended school(s) financial aid offices about institutional deadlines for priority FAFSA consideration. Being in financial aid counseling for over 10 years I’ve seen countless students who filed before the state deadline but filed after our institution’s priority deadline so missed out on a good deal of additional aid. And, if you’re planning to (or possibly considering) transferring to another school mid-year, be sure to list both schools on the FAFSA initially to make sure you meet each school’s deadline.

Thanks Pennystocks, there are ways to reduce student loans. Some programs will pay off your loans for you if you teach at certain high needs schools.
