IMPORTANT!
The Tennessee State Attorney General has issued a warning to schools and parents about a scam involving financial aid applications.
Sites claiming to be FAFSA are asking for fees to process the applications. However, FAFSA charges no fees.
Please make sure you are on the http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ site when working on federal financial aid forms.
Here is the attachment with the Attorney General's warning:
