October 1st is here and everyone has FAFSA on the brain.
Some families have tried the new mobile app, some have already finished the online application using DRT, and others have faced frustration. On it's opening day the FAFSA site was already down.
If you haven't done anything yet, don't despair. It's only been a few days since you could. And according to Luanne Lee, a college funding expert, it's better to wait to the 2nd week FAFSA is open, so the government can work out all the glitches.
Here's some information to get you through the FAFSA season:

FAFSA WORKSHOP: Sunday, 10/7 at 8:30pm EST
This workshop will walk step by step through the online FAFSA form and will address questions related to how your EFC is calculcated, which assets are included and identified as parent vs. student assets, should you use the IRS DRT, the pros and cons of using the new FAFSA mobile app, what documentation you need if selected for verification and more.
This workshop will be lead by Luanne Lee, a certified College Financial Planning Specialist with over 13 years of college planning experience in the financial services industry.
Feel free to send individual questions, which Luanne will address. Send questions to me at debbie@road2college.com, by Friday (10/5) at midnight.
