    Financial Aid Can Help You Afford College-
    1) FAFSA needs to be completed as close to January 1st as possible. Financial Aid is money and therefore it is usually at a first-come first-serve basis.
    2)Keep in mind that a college that charges a lot for tuition might offer you generous financial aid. It might even be more affordable than colleges that charge lower tuition.
    3)Once you hear from the colleges you’ve applied to, compare your financial aid offers to see which options are best for you.

    Most FAFSA Applications are due on/before March 1st.
    First step is to apply for a FAFSA ID with Social Security Info.
    FAFSA is a first come first serve basis so fill out the form as quickly as possible.
    Using the IRS Date Retrieval Tool is the quickest way to transfer tax information into the FAFSA forms.

    2. The IRS Data Retrieval allows you to quickly enter your tax information.
    3. The FSA ID is important because it serves as your signature on your online FAFSA.
