How to fill out your federal aid application

1. Start by gathering the necessary documents and information. You will need your Social Security number, driver's license number (if applicable), federal tax returns, W-2 forms, records of untaxed income, bank account statements, and any other relevant financial information.
2. Create an FSA ID. This serves as your username and password for accessing and signing your federal aid application electronically. Both the student and one parent (if applicable) will need their own FSA ID.
3. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can either fill out the FAFSA online at fafsa.gov or complete a paper application, which can be obtained from your school's financial aid office. Ensure that you provide accurate and up-to-date information on the application.
4. Enter your personal information, including your name, date of birth, and contact details. Fill in information about your citizenship status and any eligible noncitizen status, as well as your academic plans and school choices.
5. Provide your financial information, including details about your income, assets, and tax information. If you are considered a dependent student, you will also need to include your parent(s)' financial information.
6. Review your application carefully before submitting it. Double-check for any mistakes or omissions that may affect your eligibility for federal aid. Make sure all the information is accurate and complete.
7. Sign and submit your application. If you completed the FAFSA online, you and your parent (if applicable) will need to sign using your FSA ID. If you submitted a paper application, sign it by hand and mail it to the address provided on the application.
8. Keep track of your FAFSA submission. You will receive a confirmation email (if you filed online) or a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail (if you filed a paper application). Review the SAR for any necessary corrections, and follow any instructions provided.
9. Once your FAFSA is processed, your eligibility for federal aid will be determined. The information you provided will be used to calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which helps determine the amount of aid you may receive.
