Question

How long does it usually take a college to process a FAFSA?

Answer 1

Your FAFSA is processed by the U.S. Dept. of Education and then forwarded to your colleges.  When you submit your FAFSA online, it is processed in just a few seconds to up to 1 day.

I may take 1 to 3 weeks for your college to evaluate your FAFSA results (called the Student Aid Report or SAR) and send you your finanical aid award letter which tells you how much money they are offering.

Hope this helps!
