Create FAFSA ID account
Watch the FAFSA video on how to create a FAFSA ID account.
Go to this link to create your account. To create a FAFSA account, you must know your date of birth, social security number, and personal email address.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you write down or save your usernames, passwords, and the email addresses you use. You will have to access this information later. We will not have a copy of this information.
In order to complete the FAFSA, you will need yours AND your parents' FSA IDs.
You will use the information for the parent, guardian, or family member who provided the most financial support in the last 12 months. This person is known as the contributor. If that person is married, you may need information for the spouse, as well.
You will need the following information:
Contributor(s) and student’s legal names
Contributor(s) and student’s Social Security numbers
Contributor(s) and student’s dates of birth
Contributor’s driver’s license numbers
Email addresses for student and contributor
List of colleges (up to 10) that you want to receive your FAFSA results. Mark the college in Mississippi that you are most likely to attend (only one is allowed on the state aid application).
