On this week's program, host Phil Tower speaks with Chad Somerville, Outreach Manager with MI Student Aid with MiLEAP — Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential. For parents and students preparing for college, after a long delay and some mistakes on the newly released FAFSA form, the federal government has just released a new and revised FAFSA — Free Application for Federal Student Aid form at fafsa.gov. This is the first year of using the new streamlined FAFSA, and any time a new program is rolled out, it takes some getting used to. Chad answered several common questions about the new form, including who should fill out the FAFSA and what the timing should be.
