I strongly agree that the FAFSA is the most important step when applying for college. The FAFSA form can easily be forgotten which can severely hurt a college students financial aid. I'm happy to hear that the form is trying to get easier to complete and should only take about 30 minutes. Overall its a simple process that doesn't take too much time, but it just needs to be done. I almost missed the deadline this year because you need to take responsibility and remember to complete the application. I'm going to ask my father if he experienced a noticeable difference when completing the application this year.
Keith raises an excellent point, the FAFSA form is such an extremely important part of the college process, not just the application. While this form can be frustrating and seem repetitive, it can also be the difference between going to the school of your dreams or not. I am happy to hear that this form is potentially going to be made easier to fill out and comprehend. For what should be a seemingly simple process takes far too long to complete.
