Hi everyone! I’m an only child and my parents are immigrants to the us so none of us have any experience or knowledge about the FAFSA. I looked up a couple websites to explain it to me but it was just way to confusing. Can someone just tell me the basics of FAFSA? I’m a junior right now, will be a senior in the 2019 - 2020 school year. If this doesn’t help my next step will be YouTube lol.
Here’s the FAFSA website. https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa
It’s largely self-explanatory. Do your parents file tax returns? Assuming they do, they need to gather their 2018 tax returns, as well as their most recent bank and investment account statements. Then follow the instructions on the FAFSA. The FAFSA for colleges students entering in fall of 2020 will be available on October 1, 2019.
Also, this post should be moved to Financial Aid forum.
Thanks! Do you know how I can move a post?
