About This Webinar:
Don’t be fooled by the New Shortened FAFSA. Just because it’s simplified, doesn’t mean it is simple. Learn the language of FAFSA and financial aid to help you avoid the most common mistakes that will cost you money. We will give it to you straight. There is no magic in obtaining the financial aid that you are entitled to nor a magic wand that can qualify you for aid for which you are not eligible. The great news is that most financial aid does not come from the FAFSA but rather from the school. Providing the most accurate information about your finances and learning how to leverage your student’s value to increase scholarships is the key.
