FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid
This will help you understand your options for paying for college.
Provide some basic information and the FAFSA 4Caster will estimate your eligibility for federal student aid.
Your estimate will be shown in the "College Cost Worksheet" where you can also provide estimated amounts of other student aid and savings that can go towards your college education.
Unlock Your Future—Create Your FSA ID Today!
Your FSA ID is your key to financial aid! It’s your personal username and password that gives you access to the FAFSA, used to electronically sign your FAFSA, and access federal student aid tools.
This step should be completed before starting the FAFSA—ideally at least 3 days in advance to ensure your ID is verified and ready to use. Quick, secure, and essential—set it up now and take the first step toward funding your college dreams!

*Note: This should only be completed during your senior year of high school.
If you are applying for financial aid for a private college or university, you must fill out your CSS Profile.
