Host: Can I submit applications to receive aid at more than one school?

Brad Barnett: You can submit applications to receive aid at a variety of schools. If you do FAFSA on the web from the federal perspective, you can actually list up to ten different colleges on that application and the Department of Education will send it out to those ten. So, if you are in the college search process and you are interested in multiple schools, list them all on the application and it will be send out and then they ll review you for their aid eligibility once they determine whether or not you are going to be an accepted student. As far as institutional applications -- usually when you pick a school, that s the school you are to going to, so then that s the only school you need to apply with, but if you are interested in maybe doing some studies at another school on a semester, taking a break from your home school, touch base with them because you may need additional forms for that school during that particular semester.
