Financial Aid -- FAFSA Changes

Financial Aid, also called "money for college," begins with FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid www.fafsa.gov).  This BLOG makes three, important points for high school seniors and their parents.
  1. FAFSA is essential to receiving any financial aid
  2. FAFSA has some changes, so start now
  3. Succeed Where It Counts, LLC (http://www.succeedwhereitcounts.com) will help you (no charge/no obligation).
FAFSA Essential For Receiving ANY Financial Aid
  • Every student is eligible for financial aid consideration, regardless of grades, test scores and family finances (wealthy or poor).  Every college participating in the Federal Student Aid program (www.studentaid.ed.gov) requires a completed FAFSA in order to make a financial aid offer. 
FAFSA Changes Call for an Early Start
  • Changes include creating an account with a username and password.  The use of a PIN (Personal Identification Number) has been eliminated.  Every student creating an account needs a unique email (one not shared with anyone else who will be accessing the account).  Every student will complete challenge questions for security purposes; and input his/her Social Security number.  That number will be verified by the Social Security Administration.  The U.S. Department of Education recommends creating your account well in advance of needing to complete the FAFSA form (January).
