Host: What applications need to be completed for federal student aid?

Brad Barnett: When you are applying for a federal student aid, there is one form that you have to complete, no matter what s school you attend and that s the free application for federal student aid. We like to call it the FAFSA for short because it's a mouthful, but whether you re going to a public college or private college or two-year college or four-year college, any school that s giving you federal aid needs to use that FAFSA form to determine your eligibility.
