TIPS FOR FILING FASFA

For those of you applying for financial aid for the first time (and even for those of you who are seasoned pros), the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available to file. Make sure you check each college's deadline and submit your FAFSA on time. Most student aid programs have limited funds, so you don't want to be late with your applications.
