I agree with a lot of the concerns given above. As a current student, I feel like only submitting the FAFSA once before freshman year is only to cause more issues. For domestic students, perhaps link the FAFSA with information from the IRS and other government financial databases so that information is automatically updated. At this point, students only need to file a consent form for their college to view their household’s financial information and fill in a smaller amount of missing values. They can also be automatically enrolled into programs into which they are eligible.
