<p>Hi there, I'm a student applying for financial aid via the FAFSA and CSS Profile. I want to put together a quick process for my parents, who are filling out the forms, but I have very little time to do so, and was hoping to get some help from people who have done it before. Things like what to get out and do first, tips to speed up the process, and how to go through the process of doing more than 6 schools would be awesome, also how long it took you to fill it out.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!
:)</p>
<p>Well, for starters, can you help them pull together all of the paperwork they'll need - numbers from 2006 income, financial documents, etc.? Do that first, then, start with the FAFSA, because I think it's easier, then, move on the to CSS.</p>
<p>Altogether, assuming all of the financial information is organized and handy, it shouldn't take more than two hours.</p>
<p>I'm stuck on how to add the 7th school though...there were other threads about this part of it, I cannot remember from experience what we did.</p>
<p>I've filled in my sections for income on a FAFSA worksheet we have, they won't let me see any of the family income or tax information though. I'll let them know that they should definatly do the FAFSA first though, and I'll get all their codes ready for them too.</p>
<p>pay someone to do them...?</p>
