Take the mystery and stress out of completing the FAFSA®! A step by step guide.

 

The wait is almost over, and although the release of the FAFSA® is imminent, there is still a lot of angst surrounding the questions and how to answer them. That’s why we developed our free FAFSA® Guide to help give you a sneak preview of the questions and, just as important, a guide as to how to answer them based on your situation. The guide covers:

Student information Student financial information Student spouse information Parent information Other parent information Preparer information

This sounds great, but I don’t really have the time to review this right now, and anything FAFSA® isn’t exactly light reading. We get it, which is why we made the guide easy to search, and broken up into sections based on roles!
