when do I get the aid they promised?
The timing of the aid offer varies from school to school and could be as early as winter awarding for the fall or as late as immediately before you start school. It depends on when you apply and how the school prefers to schedule awarding of aid
do I have to keep my information updated so I don't lose aid?
Some information must be updated if it changes. Making corrections or updates online requires that you sign in using your FSA ID username and password
