Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the FAFSA so important?

The FAFSA (or Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the foundation of how colleges determine financial aid offers. When you complete the FAFSA, you’re disclosing the key financial information used to make all such decisions. This means the FAFSA is the single most important piece of your financial aid process. Even if you don’t think you will qualify for financial aid you should complete it. You can’t even borrow a federal direct loan or parent PLUS loan if you have not completed the FAFSA.

Why do I need a guide for completing the FAFSA?

For all its importance, the FAFSA isn’t the most user-friendly document out there. It is also not a very transparent document in terms of how important certain information is, or how the information you provide will affect your final outcome. A little guidance can help you with presenting information in the most effective way, as well as avoiding common mistakes that will cost you.

How do common errors affect FAFSA applications?

It depends on the error, but many common mistakes lead to getting less financial aid than you’re entitled to. Obviously, this is a real problem and can affect your future. For this reason, making sure you don’t make a simple mistake on this form should be a high priority.
