Adding More Than 10 Schools to FAFSA?

Hey everyone! I'm in the process of filling out my FAFSA and I'm trying to figure out how to add more than 10 schools to it. I've heard that it's possible, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. Can someone walk me through the process, please?

Hi there! You're correct that it is possible to add more than 10 schools to your FAFSA, but you’ll have to go through a specific process. It’s a bit of a workaround and not the most user-friendly, but let me walk you through it.

First, submit your FAFSA with the initial 10 schools listed. After submission, wait for the FAFSA to be processed, which should take around 3-5 days. You’ll receive an email confirmation when it’s done.

Next, log back into your FAFSA account and visit the 'Add or Delete a School' page. Here, you should remove some of the schools you submitted initially in order to make room for additional schools. Keep track of the schools you’re removing so you don’t accidentally exclude any.

Once you’ve made space, add the extra schools you’d like to include and submit the changes. The new schools will then receive your information, and the schools you’ve removed will still have the data from your initial submission. Best of luck, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions!
