Oh, the FAFSA. College-goers past and present will tell you tales of the burdensome beast that is the FAFSA, which stands for, "Free Application for Federal Student Aid." By the way, it's only "free" if you don't count the labor cost. It will take you hours to figure out how to fill this thing out.

Trust us; it's not exactly a party. However, if you put your big kid pants on and complete the thing, you'll be able to determine your eligibility for federal scholarships and grants (source). Uncle Sam will probably offer more help with your tuition than your Uncle Larry, after all.
