With economic and educational uncertainty during the global pandemic, the financial aid process may seem overwhelming. But our advice hasnât changed: It is never too early or too late to plan for college.
The class of 2021 should have the majority of their college applications completed and many have started receiving acceptance letters from some schools that they have applied to. Because of the extension of University of Michiganâs application deadline, the acceptance letters from U of M will be delayed to the middle of January.
If a college offers merit-based aid, students will learn at this at the time that they are accepted â and most students will not learn about financial need-based aid or private scholarships until late winter or early spring.
