On OCTOBER 1st the 2019-2020 FAFSA will be available.  If you are a student who will be going to college, or are a parent of a college-bound student, you should know that filling out the FAFSA is key to getting access to $150 billion in grants, loans, and works-study funds. You read that right, $150 billion. To make sure you (or your student) don’t leave money on the table,  FAFSA has some great posts on getting that FAFSA filed.
