How does one pay for their child's college when you have no money, but FAFSA says you should, so the loans and grants are small to nonexistent? When your child has straight A's but the max scholarship is barely half tuition?

The lead on this NYT story (gift link below) is that #JPMorganChase was scammed out of $175MM by #Frank, a company claiming to help cut thru the college #FinancialAid process (i.e., #FAFSA). But it's the backstory that, I must confess, I find perversely amusing: the bank's due diligence team(s) failed to spot the scam. How could such 'smart' #WallStreet bros be scammed by a 24 yo lady?

Due diligence matters.
It looks like #JPMorganChase was so hungry for #spam targets that it acqui-hired a scamming #spammer who got some schlock academic to "synthesize" a bunch of records for fake college students needing #FAFSA help..
4 million of them.
It did not go well.
(hint: there are only ~18 million college students in the US.)

My #FAFSA has been processed so now to start applying for aid. This should be a nice distraction to get me through at least part of the weekend.
Went to fill out the #FAFSA form yesterday and the website says it is having problems. I need to fill it out for 2 kids for next year so hopefully it is faster tonight.
Of the estimated time noted on the #FAFSA site, 45 minutes of the 60 estimated are waiting for the pages to load.
