How To Apply For Financial Aid!

STEP 1:  Create an FSA ID

The FSA ID gives you access to Federal Student Aid's online system and can serve as your legal signature.  Only create an FSA ID using your own personal information and for your own exclusive use.  You are not authorized to create an FSA ID on behalf of someone else, including a family member.

STEP 2:  Gather your Information

You will need personal information such as your Social Security Number, driver’s license number, your Alien Registration Number if you are not a U.S. citizen, and Federal tax information or tax returns, including W-2 information to complete your FAFSA. Dependent students will also need this information for their parents.
