Forgetting to file forms among frequent financial aid mistakes
With financial aid season taking off, Senior Vice President and Edvisors.com Publisher Mark Kantrowitz is explaining to the Washington Post how to prevent the most typical financial aid mistakes. Among the most common errors Kantrowitz cites are students forgetting to fill out the FAFSA form, which disqualifies them from Federal Pell Grants, filing out the FAFSA form for the previous year instead of the upcoming one, filing their forms after March, which results in receiving less grant funding and incorrectly reporting marital status levels, as sometimes changes in marital status are anticipated and reflected in the applications, but not fulfilled.
