10.31.06 | GETTING STARTED
f you are either already enrolled in college or just getting started there are a couple of basics that every college student should know especially if it helps them get money. First, you must remember to fill out your FAFSA. That is the Free Application for Federal Financial Aid. You can fill this out at www.fafsaonline.com or www.fafsaapplication.com. The Fafsa is based on your last years tax returns so make sure to have those updated before you start. If you are a procrastinator like most of us you want to guesstimate what you think your taxes are going to be. You are always able to update your information. You will not be able to proceed with the student loan process if you do not complete this first step. Remember your fafsa must be completed by june of the upcoming year. Follow this easy step and it should make the rest of the process for applying for student loans more manageable.
