it was easier than I expected for the online process. I did try the phone # at one point but got a busy signal, other than that it worked great.

Easy peasy
Thanks a lot. This site made my life much easier. I was struggling to fill out FAFSA by myself.
And most of the questions have a link for more details and explanation. It helped me to understand if I applied to a particular situation or not.

Citizen makes FAFSA Simple!…
Citizen makes it very easy to file your FAFSA. The questionnaire easily guides you through your specific student status and tax information. The site even tells you where to look for the data required on a variety of forms! Far easier than dealing with a paper application.

Skeptical at first, but it was easy
I was skeptical at first, but it made the application much easier to fill out. I've used fafsa.ed.gov before, and I was just scared of getting things wrong. This tool made it much easier to understand what I was doing. Wish renewing my license was this easy...

Amazed by Citizen services!
I was looking for a better way to complete the FAFSA application.
The assistant was easy, quick and free.
I got some help from the tips which helped me understand how to fill out the application.
Also, they say you can apply as a student or as a parent and it's totally free.
I was proud for having successfully completed the FAFSA application by myself.
Spread the words, this assistant is damn good!

Very helpful
I think this application is really helpful. It has a lot of tips that help you fill out your FAFSA without blocking. Also has a very good support for phone platforms, which make it possible to fill out your application over the phone.
I totally recommend this tool to anyone who wants to fill out their FAFSA application.

Time Saver and a Life Saver
If only this tool was around when I needed to fill out my fafsa, I could of saved a bunch of time in research and frustration.
The FAFSA site is too intimidating for first timers and even second timers, I know, I have been through it. However I have also been through Citizen's FAFSA application and let me tell you it was a piece of cake. The questions were formed in a manner that is easy to understand and the application cuts all the fat using its dynamic questionnaire leaving you with more time and more sanity to enjoy your life.
Now I recommend this tool to friends who are going to college
