Should I wait to apply for fin. aid until I move to FL or do it online now?

Question

I am moving from MI to FL in a month. I have not been to college here in a few years and I do not have money to pay for it there.Should I go directly to the office there or do it online now so it is faster? I am single with no kids and have had a steady fast food job all year.

Answer 1

Maybe call some schools in the area in FL and ask them what they think would be the best way to apply and when.  Proud of you!  Go after that dream Woman!

Answer 2

Always the earlier the better.  Do it now. Next year be sure you do it even sooner.  As soon after Jan 1st as possible and after you've done your taxes.

Also be aware if you can't afford in state tuition in MI, you won't likely be able to afford the more expensive out-of-state tuition in FL.  You don't get more financial aid for choosing to do this much more expensive route.

Good luck.
