Deadline Advantage

For ALL clients—even late filers!

While it is always advisable to file your FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st, or at least before your college and state grant agencies’ financial aid deadlines or preferred filing dates, our Deadline Advantage service can help you meet your filing deadlines—even, in some cases, if you’re filing on the eve of an impending deadline! 

Deadline Advantage is an exclusive collection of features and benefits designed to assist you in meeting filing deadlines. Features include:

No PIN, No Waiting:

By phone or online, our expedited FAFSA preparation and filing service can help you complete and file your FAFSA quickly—most applications can be prepared in minutes, with no need to apply and wait for a personal identification number!

Deadline Database Access:

We maintain a database of the primary FAFSA deadline dates used by most states, colleges and universities across the United States, and will provide you with the financial aid deadlines for the schools to which you are applying.

Priority Processing:

We prioritize FAFSA applications by filing deadline, which means that you can be assured that your FAFSA application will receive the attention needed for the fastest turnaround possible—an important benefit when you’re up against an impending deadline.

Review and Submissions:

Once completed, your FAFSA will receive personalized human review to minimize errors and potential delays, and will then be electronically submitted directly to the federal processor for expediency.

Extended Hours of Operation:

Our operations center works extended hours during peak filing periods to give you an expanded opportunity to file.

Our “Best Effort” Pledge:

While it may not always be possible to meet a filing deadline, particularly if you’ve delayed completing your application, we will do our very best to assist you, pledging our “best effort” in helping you meet your deadline.
