A good friend of mine is going to college soon and he won't be getting any free money from his parents so I told him he should apply for financial aid.

My parents paid for my college education (and I am paying them back now) so I don't really know anything about this stuff.

Did anybody here apply for financial aid in the UC system or otherwise? Did anybody use FAFSA? I figured many MHF users are in college so this would be a good resource for information

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
