It usually takes about three to five days to process a FAFSA that was submitted online using FAFSA on the Web. A paper FAFSA is processed within about seven to ten days from the date it was mailed. If you provided an e-mail address on your FAFSA, you will receive an e-mail that includes a link to your Student Aid Report (SAR). If you did not provide an e-mail address, then you will receive a paper SAR through the mail. You can go online to FAFSA on the Web to see if your application was processed, even if you did not submit the application online. Colleges have access to your information one day after it is processed, but each college has its own process and timeframes for accessing FAFSA information. Check with your college's financial aid office to see if there are extra requirements for receiving financial aid.

Where does your FAFSA information go?

Your FAFSA information is used by the U.S. Department of Education to determine your eligibility for federal student aid, such as grants, loans, and work-study programs. The information is also shared with the schools you list on your FAFSA so they can determine your financial aid package. Additionally, some states and institutions may use the data to determine eligibility for their financial aid programs.
