I’m applying to Yale through regular decision and want to make sure I adhere to all financial aid deadlines. Can anyone tell me when the deadline for considering financial aid is? I don't want to miss any important dates!
For the Regular Decision application cycle at Yale, make sure to mark these important financial aid application deadlines on your calendar:
1. The FAFSA form: Yale's deadline for Regular Decision applicants is February 15. Keep in mind that federal aid is processed around tax season, so do this earlier rather than later to avoid extra stress.
2. The CSS Profile: This is also due on February 15.
These forms will help determine your Student Aid Index (SAI) which forms part of the foundation for your financial aid award. It's important to note that some of the information required for these forms will be from your family's tax returns, so be prepared to have those on hand during the application process.
Getting your forms in by these deadlines is crucial to give you the best chance at getting appropriate financial aid. It is always recommended to apply early as opposed to waiting until the last minute to avoid any unnecessary stress and issues. Good luck with your application!
