It says I have to pay $80 to continue the FAFSA?

Paying for College

<p>Okay, I know that FAFSA is supposed to be free. But.. I'm doing the application online, and when I press the "Next" button, it goes to a page saying "payment" and stuff, saying I have to pay $80. I can't afford that, that's why I'm doing FAFSA in the first place! So basically I can't continue my application until I can pay that?</p>

<p>Make sure that you go to the website, FAFSA.ED.GOV. You should not be paying a fee for the FAFSA.</p>

<p>You want:</p>

<p>fafsa.ed.gov</p>

<p>No fee</p>

<p>You do not want a website that ends in ".com". That would be a private company that is ripping you off for filing your FAFSA through them.</p>

<p>You are on the wrong site.</p>

<p>FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid</p>

<p>is the site you need</p>

<p>Have you applied for your PINs yet? You need one for the student and one for a parent. </p>

<p>The</a> PIN Web Site - Federal Student Aid</p>

<p>I just went to Fafsa.com
Is that not a legitimate site?</p>

<p>That is not a legitimate site.</p>

7

<p>You do NOT want fafsa.com.</p>

<p>You want the website that we are all sending you to.</p>

<p>Hahaha wow. Thanks a lot :D
You just saved me $80 and a lot of time.
Thanks also for the PIN number site, I didn't know that I had to do that.
Thank you, a lot.</p>
