Expert’s Guide to Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Posted on February 22, 2010 by Barbara Macaulay
According to this article I found in The Sacramento Bee, it was authored by an independent college adviser based in Charlotte, N.C. named Lee Bierer. While we can’t and don’t vouch for the services of individuals or any third-party entities or organizations, the substance of this article, entitled “Countdown to college: Terms you need to know to apply for financial aid,” seems quite reasonable and accurate:
Each year around this time I focus on financial aid issues because the FAFSA becomes available on Jan. 1. The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Everyone, repeat, everyone should complete this form. It’s simple and you don’t need to hire anyone to fill it out for you.
Following that, the ‘How-To’ piece features some explanations of key terms but you can get many of these and more from the same source that’s used by Lee Bierer and cited in the article: “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Financial Aid for College“.
