2022-23 Financial Aid Deadlines
College Transitions recommends submitting your FAFSA and/or CSS profile early in the financial aid window. However, we understand that not everyone is able to be an “early bird” who finishes all of the requisite paperwork in October. For your convenience, we have put together a searchable table featuring financial aid deadlines at 250+ of the top schools in the country. In this table, we included separate financial aid deadlines for Early Action, Early Decision, Early Decision II, and Regular Decision applicants.
*Financial Aid Deadline Data collected from institution websites.
