Hilltopmom Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Do you get a notification? We did it the second week it was available but have not gotten anything confirming it’s been processed yet. One of the schools he’s been accepted to is offering an extra 2,000 scholarship per year but your FAFSA has to be in by Dec 15. Are we supposed to be notified somehow? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) I don't recall getting any notification from the FAFSA. We filled it out and that was it. We only heard from the schools with their fin aid offers. Edited November 22, 2017 by regentrude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Ok, I guess I just want to be sure it didn’t get lost or something weird. It was done electronically, but still... Well, hopefully it will get to the school in time. I’m not sure of the turn around time between us filing and the info being sent to schools. It shows up as completed on our FAFSA account, so I guess I’ll check with the school directly.

SparklyUnicorn Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I was notified by FAFSA that the federal part was processed. Then the one school we listed sent me a notification. The state didn't send me any sort of notification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yup, I saved the e-mail and indeed they sent me a confirmation that it was successfully processed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amathis229 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It's shown up as received on several of my Ds's college portals. Wish it would be displayed on the checklist for all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ok I did get an email that it was processed but not that schools have it. I’ll have ds see if it’s on any of his portals. Two of his schools don’t do portals yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I don't recall getting information from the schools that it was processed. You might call financial aid to confirm. I had a brief moment of panic today when I saw there was an official looking letter from the IRS addressed to me. Turned out it was just notification that my tax info retrieval tool had been used for the FAFSA, whew! Did not remember getting that before.

Hilltopmom Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 I called, they down loaded it in their batch today & she said he should have his award package by the end of the week! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Argh, got a parent email that the award info was sent to kiddos email address. Kiddo just went to final prep stretch before robotics competition and I won’t see him till middle of the night Sunday. Hoping he’ll forward me the email. I’m dying to know what his package is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
