FAFSA workshops for early filing, Dec. 1 deadline

Posted on October 07, 2019

The early filing period for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now open, and all current and prospective undergraduate students are encouraged to complete their FAFSA before the period closes on Dec. 1.

Here’s what Spartans need to know:

  • Students must submit a FAFSA each year in order to continue to receive aid.
  • UNC Greensboro funds and certain state funds are limited. Students who file early have a better chance of receiving these funds, in addition to any federal aid they may receive, such as Pell grants.
  • The Financial Aid Office is offering FAFSA workshops every Tuesday during the months of October and November. The workshops will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Mossman Building atrium. Students are encouraged to bring their laptops.

In March 2020, students will be notified of their financial aid package for the 2020-21 academic year. Students are encouraged to resolve any financial aid issues before they leave campus for the summer. Filing the FAFSA early will help students get their financial aid refunds before classes begin in the fall.

UNCG students receive more than $200 million in financial aid annually. The University awards $10 million in institutional aid, such as scholarships, each year.
