  Hi, I am a little confused. I filled out the 2010-2011 FAFSA and the an RIT Early Decision Financial Aid Application and have received my financial aid offer. We have submitted the $300 deposit. Do I still have to fill our the 2011-2012 FAFSA? What purpose would that serve?

  Hi Steve! I apologize for the confusion. If you plan to enroll at RIT in the fall 2011, you will need to complete the 2011-2012 FAFSA. The FAFSA is required to receive need-based RIT Grants and Federal aid. This post was written in January 2010 when students were applying for the fall 2010 term. I hope this helps.

  ok, but I did early decision before the 2011-2012 form was available. So even though I am accepted on December 15, 2010 and submitted my deposit, I still have to fill out the 2011-2012 form?

  Steve,
  
  We provide an Early Decision Financial Aid Award before the FAFSA is available, in most cases. We use the Early Decision Financial Aid Application to collect the necessary information. This enables us to provide estimated financial aid to families who are applying early decision. Once the FAFSA is available, we'll use the FAFSA to estimate a financial aid award. The FAFSA is required to receive any federal or need-based RIT financial aid. If your Early Decision Financial Aid Award included Federal or RIT need-based aid, you'll have to complete the 2011-2012 FAFSA. I can understand your confusion here. Let me know if you have any additional questions. And, congratulations on your acceptance to RIT!
