Common questions
Does a school residency affidavit need a notary?
Many districts ask for one. Bring a photo ID and the unsigned form; the notary watches you sign. It can be done online or at your home.
When should FAFSA paperwork be gathered?
Before the application opens, so tax returns, account balances and school lists are ready. The organizer lists what the form asks for.
Is there something for teachers?
Yes. The classroom expense and professional development log keeps receipts for supplies and training through the year.
Is this financial aid advice?
No. The kits organize documents and point to official pages. A school's financial aid office answers questions about your aid.
