5 Things You Need to Start Your FAFSA Application

Posted by August on Jul 12, 2022 2:34:09 PM

Are you heading to college in the fall? If so, I bet you're super excited! I remember how much anticipation I had the summer before heading off to Coastal Carolina University. I couldn't wait to arrive on campus, meet my roommates, get my new dorm room set up, and officially start my classes.
