The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in the financial aid process. You use the FAFSA form to apply for federal student aid, such as grants, work-study, and loans. In addition, most states and colleges use information from the FAFSA form to award non federal aid.

***It is recommended that you request your FSA ID as soon as possible in the Spring of Junior Year or Fall of Senior Year. It typically takes 3-5 days to process these requests.
