On Thursday, October 1st, FAFSA applications opened to college students and families. Everyone is encouraged to apply, no matter their economic status, because most families are eligible for some help.
With the partial government shutdown in its fourth week, the effects have started to trickle down to the college students in the country.
Students who look for financial aid must file their "FAFSA" or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. In order to complete that, they need info directly from the IRS. Unfortunately for them, because of the shutdown, they can't access that information.
