The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a way to get FREE money from the government based on your family's income level and need. All you need is your SSN, a parent or guardian's SSN and your tax information from 2021.
Get Started By Creating An FSA ID
Students and Guardians should make separate FSA IDs
Do not use your school e-mail
The PHEAA is like the State version of the FAFSA
It can ONLY be completed once you submit your FAFSA
Financial Aid received through PHEAA can be applied to any college/university as long as it is located in the state of Pennsylvania.
Both Private and Public schools are eligible.
Students should sign in with their College Board Accounts.
