For families who are anxious to see how much aide they qualify through the FAFSA, you can go to www.FAFSA4caster.ed.gov to get an estimate based on income from 2011.

Do not fail to fill out the FAFSA in January 2012. If something happens to a parent mid-year in a child's college education, he can be re-considered for aide even if he did not qualify at first.
