11.04.09 | Mailing Your FAFSA
Last week I chronicled the various ways you can complete your FAFSA in a blog entitled FAFSA Applications. One of those ways was mailing in your FAFSA. But what happens next? How long does it normally take to process when you mail in your FAFSA application?
Your FAFSA will be processed in two to three weeks. But, before mailing it, you should check to see if your school, or a school that you’re interested in, would submit your FAFSA electronically for you to speed up that process.
If you do not hear anything within three weeks of the date you submitted your application, check your status through FAFSA on the Web. You can also check your status by contacting the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 800-4-FED-AID.
