Paying for college: What you should know
Misty makes some excellent points in this video, especially for families who are applying for financial aid for the first time. She mentions that the FAFSA is free, and we cant stress this enough! For families who have questions about the FAFSA, feel free to pose a question to the financial aid experts at FinancialAidForum, or check out some of the othermon questions from families.
She also talks about how families must pull their tax information for the FAFSA from the IRS in order for the form to beplete. Id clarify that families who arent required to file their taxes for whatever reason, dont need to use the IRS data retrieval option. However, families who have a tax return on file, and who dont use it, will most likely have to talk with the financial aid office about any discrepancies.
Misty also mentions some great scholarship resources for Colorado students; but for everyone whos not from Colorado, here are some helpful scholarship tips and resources:
