I recall hearing that filling out the FAFSA Application was a nightmare. So when my oldest daughter was a Senior in high school, I started to worry how I would get through this daunting process! I started researching to find out what kinds of questions were asked and then I gathered the information and completed a sample FAFSA.
I had a few questions after completing the sample FAFSA, so when a local private college offered a financial aid and FAFSA information seminar, I immediately signed up.
I had my questions written down so I would not forget to ask them after the seminar. To my surprise, ALL of my questions were answered during the seminar! I did not have to ask one question and I felt prepared to complete the FAFSA on my own!
My advice is to review the FAFSA online and go to a seminar or class to learn more. If you don't review online first, you really have no idea what questions to ask. Or you might ask questions that could have been answered simply by viewing the FAFSA ahead of time. And that would allow you to ask better, more in depth questions to really be able to complete the FAFSA correctly and pretty much stress free!
