Aid Clock The MAD DASH to complete forms will
disappear.

decisions.

for Families

The mechanics are straightforward, but implications aren’t.
Your finances will matter beginning in sophomore year in high
school.

Finances won’t matter after sophomore year in college.
Current assets will still count.
