As far as I can tell, the FAFSA is a bait-and-switch. You're enticed with grants and scholarships, but all you get is inadequate loans. I have never met anybody who got the grants and scholarships.
Perhaps it works if you are an independent student. For that you must do one of the following: wait until you are 24, get married, serve in the military, have a kid, go into foster care, or have your parents both die.
