Marshall Jennings, Oregon State University FINANCIAL AID DEAD LINE COMING SOON! Students who plan on attending school next school year, Fall Term 1989-1990, the Financial Aid Form (FAF's) for 1989-1990 will be available for processing after January 1, 1989. Please have your FAF filed no later than January 31,1989. Because of the high number of applicants and limited funding, if you are attending school this year (1988-89) and fail to complete the FAF by January 30th, we will only consider providing tuition, books and fees for the 1989-1990 school year. This year, the Higher Education Program received a number of applications from returning students who did not file the FAF until two weeks prior to the start of Fall Term. Because of these problems, and students not assuming this responsibility in a timely manner, we will no longer provide financial assistance to overcome the high need that is not addressed by campus-based aid, generated by students' failure to complete the FAF for maximum campus-based aid. File your FAF no later than January 31, 1989.
