College

Apply to financial aid through FAFSA.GOV. The FAFSA application helps colleges/universities determine your financial aid eligibility and amount. Financial aid can come in the form of a grant, which you are not required to pay back, or in the form of a student loan. When you are ready to apply to college, make sure to submit your FAFSA application. You must have a high school diploma or equivalency to be eligible. To fill out the application, you will need the following information:

1. 1. Your Social Security Number

   2. Your  Alien Registration Number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)

   3. Your federal income tax returns, W-2s, and other records of money earned. (Note: You may be able to transfer your federal tax return information into your FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.)

   4. Bank statements and records of investments (if applicable)

   5. Records of untaxed income (if applicable)

   6. An FSA ID to sign electronically.
