The Student Guide to Applying for Financial Aid http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/index.html
Financial Aid from the U.S. Department of Education has lots of information for those filling out the FAFSA grant application, plus much other scholarship and student loan related information.

Students applying for federal student aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The most important advice we can give about completing the FAFSA is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. The instructions included with the application explain how each question is to be answered. Because the instructions cannot address every possible family situation, in this document we will discuss the purpose of the FAFSA questions and discuss how information should be reported in some unusual cases.

College Savings Bank http://www.collegesavings.com/
