Shortening the FAFSA is a tall order.

What major should I choose?” “Why (and how) do I fill out the FAFSA?” “Is there more I should be doing?” Rising high school seniors and incoming college students are gearing up for the start of the academic year, but they’ve got more on their minds than just having the right supplies: now they’ve got to worry about tuition and picking a major that will pay off in the long run.
