Let's Fill Out the 2024 FAFSA (and fix problems for parents without SSN)

Free money with the FAFSA? Only if you fill it out right. If you're a US citizen living abroad I've got tips to help you fill out the FAFSA correctly, even if your parents don't have social security numbers. FAFSA can help you get low-interest loans, Pell Grants for low-income families, and even bigger scholarships from universities.

If your parents ARE US citizens and they don't file US taxes, then they're lawless heathen and you should probably speak to a tax consultant, and forget about getting financial aid here. But you should still fill it out because some universities require it for scholarships.

If your parents don't have a social security number and you're having problems filling out the form, I've got some tips at the end of the video to help solve that problem.
