I submitted my FAFSA the last week of Febuary. It is already mid May and I still haven't heard anything. I check my financial aid on my school's webpage, but there isn't any activity. I called them last month and they said they had my paperwork, that it should be processed at the end of April.. but still nothing yet. How long does it take??
I don't know, but if they have all the information they need there is no reason why you shouldn't have your award letter yet. Sometimes after they receive it they may need verification of info. that you submitted, so they may request additional documents.
My advice is to contact the schools financial aid office every week or 2 to find out the status of your financial aid until you see progress with the process.
You should have gotten your financial aid offer from your college in April if you are a new student. If you are a returning student, you should have gotten it at the beginning of May. Bug them until you get an answer.
I called them and they said they haven't awarded graduate students yet. She said hopefully by the end of May.. blah.
