U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos visited Atlanta Wednesday to show a mobile app that launched Monday that's supposed to make it easier for prospective college students or their parents to apply for federal financial aid.

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to the app store on your smartphone and type “FAFSA,” which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

2. Click on “myStudentAid” and download it.

3. The app should appear on your phone with three different options: one for students, one for parents and one for preparers. Choose the one that applies for you.
