FAFSA Deadline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Schoolcraft processes FAFSAs throughout the year. In order to maximize federal funding, and have awards in place prior to registration, it is recommended that the FAFSA be submitted at least 4-6 weeks prior to registration. Once the FAFSA is submitted, be sure to check your SC mail and Ocelot Access for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does completing the FAFSA early mean for Schoolcraft students?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new year\u2019s FAFSA (Fall through Spring\/Summer) is available October 1 of each year and awarding begins in early March. Once we begin the awarding process, students will need to check their SC mail account for their award notice or if the Office of Financial Aid requires additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
