Episode #60. Host Jonathan Hughes and co-host Julie Shields-Rutyna first share the exciting news of when the FAFSA will be available to fill out this year. Then they answer a MEFA Mailbag question about who gets to file as an independent student on the FAFSA. Finally, Jonathan has a conversation with Brendan Melican, a Worcester resident and student at Quinsigamond Community College. Brendan and Jonathan discuss the MassReconnect program, which is allowing Brendan to attend college for free, as well as what it’s like being the parent of a college student while being one himself.
