As you know from an earlier post, I have a page devoted to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid on this BLOG which I highly recommend that you read so that you can get started on completing your FAFSA so that you can be evaluated for federal need-based financial aid options.
Please be sure that you go to the Federal Student Aid Site to complete your FAFSA - remember this is a FREE application. The site is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. I wanted to make a note about this as there is a FAFSA dot com site out there as well which actually comes up first in a google search due to their paid advertising. BEWARE as this dot com site asks people to pay to complete the FAFSA which is NOT necessary at all.
Completng the FAFSA is something that everyone can do on their own - no one needs to pay for a company to complete their FAFSA for them. Yes, you will need to spend some time completing it and will need to have your financial information with you (see list of helpful documents on the FAFSA.ed.gov site) but you can do it!
Financial Aid $ense is a BLOG dedicated to assisting families navigate through the financial aid process. As a financial aid professional for almost 25 years, I developed this site with the clear purpose of providing an additional resource to families about financial aid in general. My goal is to share accurate, solid, and helpful information about financial aid, the financial aid process, and related topics ~ information that I hope will guide you through the financial aid process.
