FAFSA doesn't have to be as daunting as people make it out to be! I go through all of the materials and little tips you need to know while filling out the FAFSA to maximize the amount of federal aid you can get! While going through the different sections of FAFSA, I touch on financial aid points that could help you maximize the aid you get, either on the federal aid level or the institutional level.

As always, if you have any questions for me, comment them down below and I will do my best to help you out!
