<p>"Speaking of which, when should you apply for your FAFSA? That's right - the first 60 seconds that you are eligible to do so, usually on New Year's Day. Why? Because the FAFSA application controls access to student loans and grants, and the earlier your FAFSA gets in, gets processed, and gets done, the more eligible you are for grants and scholarships which have a limited pool of money that's first come, first served."</p>
