Overview Of The Changes To The 2016 FAFSA (Episode 71)

March 23, 2016 | Written by Lauren | Leave a Comment

2016 is a year of change in the college admissions world. The new SAT has debuted and the FAFSA is changing in the fall! If you’re unfamiliar with the FAFSA, it is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid – a very important part of the financial aid process for all students.

In this episode of The College Checklist Podcast, financial aid expert Jodi Okun joins us for a second time to give us an overview of the changes coming to the FAFSA process in 2016.  She also explains the importance of the College Scholarship Service (also called the CSS Profile) and how to access it.

This is a must-listen episode for all families looking to get the maximum amount of financial aid with as little stress as possible.
