"You should write about college aid and the FAFSA," my brother said.
"FAFSA? Why would I write about a little-used, totally made-up universal language?"
"That's not FAFSA, that's Esperanto." ...
He explained that the FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and if you're the parent of a college-bound student, or one already in college, this five-letter acronym should be a big part of your financial life. That's because if you are going to try and get any kind of financial aid from America's college-industrial complex, you need to file the FAFSA sometime between Jan. 1 and June 30.
