FAFSA

About FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine eligibility for federal Pell Grants and Stafford Loans, and institutional financial aid; you will need to reapply each new school year. The fastest way to complete the FAFSA is online by clicking here.

The FAFSA requires a signature. If you apply online by clicking here, you will create your electronic signature (PIN).

Suggestions for Faster FAFSA Results

Have the necessary tax forms (yours, parents, spouse) with you when filling out the FAFSA. It saves time if you use accurate figures and don't guess. However, you may estimate your information in order to file your FAFSA before the March 1 priority deadline and then go back and make corrections once your tax returns are completed.

Apply for a PIN by clicking here and submit the FAFSA online. This ensures the shortest processing time possible. You and your parents may both apply for a PIN if you are a dependent.
