Subject: The FAFSA deadline has come and gone...
Submitter: Carly Eichhorst, Financial Aid Counselor, Enrollment Center

Message: Did you know that the deadline for undergraduate students to turn in their financial aid application was April 15th? Did you know Augsburg has a grace period that extends until May 15th allowing students to turn in forms without receiving a financial penalty?

Did you know that students who turn in forms after May 15th will have their financial aid reduced by at least 25%?

If you haven’t done so, make sure you get your financial aid forms in immediately. Currently you are unfashionably late, but if you delay much longer, you risk losing your financial aid.

All undergraduate students need to complete a 2007-08 FAFSA (remember to sign it!), submit their 07-08 verification worksheet (remember to sign it!) and turn in copies of taxes (once again… sign these!). The Financial Aid Counselors will be having walk in hours at a window at the EC from 2:30-4:30 during the month of April. Stop by and see them if you have questions or need help.

Get your PIN numbers here: www.pin.ed.gov
