The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, otherwise known as the FAFSA, is the single most important process in applying for and receiving college financial aid. In this podcast, we'll go over, section-by-section, how to complete the FAFSA. You can listen to the whole podcast or select only those sections where you need some clarification.
Watch as we take you step-by-step through the first section of the FAFSA, about you, the student; determining your dependency status is also covered.
You'll be guided through the parents' financial portion of the FAFSA with a question-by-question explanation of the information you must provide. We'll explore who is considered a parent and you'll learn specific details about what should and should not be included in your financial information.
Similar to your parents' financial section, we'll get to the nuts and bolts of providing financial information about you, the student.
You'll hear tips about selecting the schools to receive your data, reviewing your application and how to sign and submit electronically.
