“Just finished my FAFSA; would rather blind myself with a spork than do that again,” reads a recent tweet on Twitter.
Filing the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the definition of tedium. Unnecessary complications, prying information, and hours of frustration make up the typical FAFSA experience.
It’s a daunting experience, but if given the time and patience, filling out the FAFSA form could help a student earn a significant amount of financial aid.
But it’s not easy. So Jenna Johnson from the Washington Post and Mark Kantrowitz, a financial aid expert and publisher of Fastweb.com and FinAid.org held a live, online FAFSA question and answer session.
Reading through its board could help clear up some of your FAFSA questions and complications. See the whole question and answer session here.
