FAFSA

Free Application for Federal Student Aid

Complete Your FAFSA to Get Federal Aid

To apply for federal financial aid, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

As part of the FAFSA submission process, both the parent and the student will need to create an Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) - learn more at studentaid.gov.

Note: International students are not eligible for federal or state financial aid, so there is no need for non-U.S. citizens to submit a FAFSA.
