Is it too late for financial aid if it has already been applied for?

Ok, so I applied for financial aid, for 2007-2008. Then I paid for it myself because ...ok..I am nutty like that and felt guilty for getting government aid, even though I qualify. So now it said that I am approved but need to bring tax forms and stuff, which I have. My question is ...is it too late to get that money?
Oh, and I am still in school with a good GPA.

If you did not accept it, it was most likely given to another studednt that requested it. Contact your financial aid office to see what your options are.

i did the same thing. i applied late and still got financial aid and the school refunded me the money i gave them.

I think the deadline has passed on that one. I know my school called me like a month ago and told me to pick up my check before the 5th. The best bet would be to call your school's financial department and ask. Also, go ahead and put in for your 08-09 year.

Every college has a financial aide person. Go talk to him/her and they will be able to give you good accurate information.

You can probably complete the paper work, have the funds dispersed to your school and get a refund from the school. Double check with the financial office at your school. I've seen people do this before. They cover their classes when funds are late to make sure they will not be washed out.
