Need Help Paying For College? There's An App For That Oct 1st . . . FAFSA

“At midnight, Oct. 1, the rush begins.”

“Cook says, in the past, many students had no choice but to fill out the FAFSA in a school computer lab. They still can, especially if they're getting help from a counselor, but now they can also take it home — for the questions that only a parent can answer. “

Comment: Having personally experienced the FAFSA application process, the smartphone option will be a welcome option. The inclusion of the IRS' data-retrieval tool, which helps students by auto-populating the FAFSA with key tax information will be a big time-saver and insure accuracy.
