Students and parents awaiting financial aid summaries for the upcoming academic year should mark February 18 to February 22 as a key processing window.
The Department of Education’s processing system is anticipated to clear a significant batch of FAFSA submissions during these dates. For many applicants, the status will move from “In Review” to “Processed,” allowing colleges to begin calculating aid packages. Families are advised to log into their StudentAid.gov accounts during this window to ensure no signatures or corrections are missing.
Disclaimer: Processing times vary based on submission date and volume. Financial aid awards are determined by individual colleges.
