The online FAFSA is a very simple form to fill out. It does require that a student or a parent do some up front preparation and gathering of data to complete the form. I have complete one every year for 8 years straight while working and going to school part time. It has never taken me any longer than one hour to complete. Something you do not address is that most every post secondary school in Tennessee, through their outreach programs and or their Financial Aid Offices, offers one-on-one assistance for any student who requests it. You need to speak to the FA Directors or Outreach Coordinators of a few schools
