I'm Back & it's FAFSA Time Again

I've missed you all and apologize for my absence the past several months--I had to deal with some health issues--but all is now well, and I am back in time for Financial Aid. Now is the time to fill out your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)--this is the form that is required for all forms of financial aid that you may seek. Make sure that you go directly to the government site: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ Do not use a 3rd party FAFSA site, as they will charge you! Your first step should be to request a PIN for yourself and your parents--the PIN is required so that you can electronically sign the form. If you are applying to private universities, then you'll need to fill out the CSS Profile as well. You can access that at www.collegeboard.com Please leave comments with any questions you might have; I'll be checking for questions daily.
