FAFSA® Delays: What You Need to Know!Changes to Your Family’s Financial Situation
If you or your family’s financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your federal income tax return (for example, if you’ve lost a job or otherwise experienced a drop in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted. Complete the FAFSA questions as instructed on the application (including the transfer of tax return and income information), submit your FAFSA form, then contact the school you plan to attend to discuss how your current financial situation has changed. Note that the school’s decision is final and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.
Student or a student’s parent should consider requesting review of the student’s eligibility if either experience occurs:
- Loss of employment
- Loss of income due to divorce or legal separation
- Loss of income due to death of a spouse or parent
- Loss or hardship due to natural disaster
- Medical expenses
FAFSA - BRCC's School Code is 037303
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed by all students applying for financial aid.
- The 2023-2024 FAFSA is the application for Fall 2023, Spring 2024, and Summer 2024.
