FAFSA

 

 

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid form (FAFSA) is the form that determines eligibility for money for post secondary training. You can obtain financial assistance form the federal, state and institutional student aid, and are also considered for the student work study program with this form. It can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov/.

 

You are required to complete the online application by February 15th. For state or college aid, the deadline may be as early as January. 

 

How to file the FAFSA

 

You may file your FAFSA electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov or www.PHEAA.org.

 

Filing your FAFSA electronically speeds up turnaround time and helps eliminate errors.

 

In order to file online, you and your parent will need a PIN (personal identification number) to serve as your electronic signature. Visit www.pin.ed.gov to obtain your PIN before completing the FAFSA. If you do not have access to a computer, you may file a paper copy of the form.

 

You are required to place in your binder a copy of your confirmation email stating that the application was completed. 


If you need assistance or the use of a computer, please schedule time to use the computer lab with your parents.
