Everyone should consider filling out the FAFSA form regardless of if you think you’ll qualify.

If you believe these common myths, it could prevent you from saving thousands of dollars on tuition each year

Myth No. 1: I Don’t Need to Fill Out the FAFSA Because My Parents Can Afford College

Wrong. Even if you think your family can afford college, you don’t know what you qualify for until you file this form.

Myth No. 2: Filling Out the FAFSA Means Having to Take On More Debt

Nope. You should always file the FAFSA form. You can qualify for federal grants, federal work study, and college grants. By filling the FAFSA, you can be offered federal student loans but it’s your decision if you take those loans or not.

Myth No. 3: The FAFSA Form Takes Forever to Fill Out

‘Tis a myth! You should always file the FAFSA form. It should only take about forty minutes of your time. Forty minutes to get free money? I’d do it every time!

Uh-uh. By no means is filing the FAFSA form a waste of time. This form will get you access to federal grants, federal loans, state grants, and college grants.
