Free Application for Federal Student Aid 

Completing FAFSA is an essential part of the college application process. 

Every student who plans to attend college should complete the FAFSA application. The FAFSA is NOT just a loan application; it determines various aid eligibility. 

Reminders:

• You MUST apply for FAFSA every year of college

• Use your personal email to create your FSA ID Account (see instructions below to create your FSA ID account)

• When you create your account, write down your username and password - you will need it again next year!

• Both student and parent/caregiver/contributor will need to create their separate FSA ID (applies to first-time users ONLY)
