Will my University help me fill out my FAFSA form?

Question

I have never filled out one of these forms before and I'm really lost. I'm the oldest in my family so my father isn't sure of some of the information either. If I go to my financial aid office tomorrow will they help me fill it out or do they even do that? I don't want to look like an idiot. haha

Answer 1

They will help you.  Answer as many of the questions as you can on your own first, then ask for their help.  They may not be able to right then, but most campuses offer workshops that go line-by-line with applicants. Be sure to bring all of the income information (taxes etc..) that the applications requires.
