Financial Aid/Scholarships

What you’ll need to complete the FAFSA® 

If you’re a dependent student, you’ll need this information for both you and your parents. •

You and your parents will need an FSA (Federal Student Aid) ID to access the FAFSA® and sign the form electronically. Apply for your FSA IDs at studentaid.gov 3-5 days before you plan on starting the FAFSA®. 

Your Social Security number 

Your parents’ Social Security numbers (SSN). Parents without a social security number need to check the box stating “I do not have an SSN”. 

What’s no longer needed? Student and parent tax documents. All of this information will be automatically accessed from the IRS through the FUTURE Act Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX). 

If your financial status has changed since you filed your previous year taxes, you must complete the FAFSA® with the required information, and then follow up with your school’s financial aid office for further advice.
