FAFSA Information

FAFSA on the Web
Check out the free FAFSA on the Web — the way to apply online for student financial aid! (Students who applied for aid last year may be able to complete a Renewal FAFSA application online.) When you apply online, you don't hassle with paperwork, and you get your results faster. Plus, help filling out your FAFSA is built into the system, so you'll know what to do as you go along. You can even “chat” live online with a customer service representative if you need personal assistance. This help is free—you don't have to pay us—or anyone else—for assistance. For another form of free help, check out Completing the FAFSA, below.
PIN
The PIN is your identifier to let you access personal information in various U.S. Department of Education systems. You must have a PIN to file an online Renewal FAFSA or to make online corrections to your FAFSA. Request one here.
Federal School Code Search Page
Schools equipped for electronic communication with the Department of Education will receive your FAFSA information automatically. If you're filing a paper application, you can use the Federal School Code Search to look up codes for the colleges you are considering so that you can list them correctly on the FAFSA.
Completing the FAFSA
If you're wondering, "Why do they ask that?," or saying, "MY family situation is different, now what do I do?," see Completing the FAFSA. It explores the purpose of FAFSA questions and discusses how information should be reported in some unusual cases.
