Step 1: Create a FSA ID

Step 2: Start FAFSA 

​What is "FAFSA?" 
FAFSA stands for "Free application for federal student aid." The FAFSA is evaluated by an office of the Department of Education called Federal Student Aid.  Students applying for FAFSA will be awarded money based upon their Student Aid Index (SAI Number). An SAI is calculated based upon student demographics, college selection, parent demographics, parent financials, and student financials. 

​For special circumstances, there is a paper FAFSA that can be printed out and completed; however, we do not suggest you file on paper because it takes several weeks to process and it is harder to complete.

Important Reminders:

• If you are eligible for Tuition Incentive Program (TIP), the first college listed on your FAFSA will be the only school notified of your TIP eligibility.

Step 3: Upload Tax Information 

On the 2024/25 FAFSA Form all persons on the FAFSA must provide consent and approval for the Department of Education to receive tax information or confirmation of non-filing status directly from the IRS.

Step 4: Sign & Submit FAFSA

​If a parent did not create an FSA ID, they may choose to print, sign & mail in their FAFSA signature page instead.
