FAFSA Renewals 2020-2021 School Year
Is your college demanding you complete your FAFSA for the 2020-2021 school year yesterday? Do not fear, you are not too late to file, but keep in mind that the longer you wait to file your FAFSA, the more likely some schools are to run out of smaller grants or scholarships.
