The information you report on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is sent to each school you list. (Use the Federal School Code Search to find the colleges you’re interested in including on your FAFSA form.) You don’t need to apply for admission to a school before you list it on your FAFSA form; you can list all the schools to which you have applied or might apply. The school will have access to your information within a few days of when you submit your FAFSA form but will not necessarily contact you with an aid offer right away. Learn about what happens after you fill out the FAFSA form.
Maximum Number of Schools You Can List
You can list up to 10 schools online or in the myStudentAid app or up to four schools on a PDF FAFSA form. (You can add more schools to your FAFSA form later.)
Order of Schools on Your List
For purposes of federal student aid, it does not matter in what order you list the schools. However, to be considered for state aid, some states require your schools to be listed in a specified order. Scroll down or click on the name of your state below to find your state’s guidance for listing schools on your FAFSA form.
