<p>It's the most <em>dreaded</em> time of the year!! FAFSA time!
Here is a link to the instructions:<a href="http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/CompletingtheFAFSA10-11.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/attachments/siteresources/CompletingtheFAFSA10-11.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If you have never done this before - I suggest you print the documents and refer to them as you answer questions.<br>
Who knew the definition of <em>dependent</em> could be so confusing?</p>

<p>I’m having problems logging.
Can we use the same PIN of last year or do we need to apply for a new Pin Number?</p>

<p>"Your PIN can be used each year to electronically apply for federal student aid and to access your Federal Student Aid records online?</p>

<p>OKay, so we can use last year PIN. Anyone having problems loggin?</p>
