FAFSA

Free Application for Federal Student 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—learn more at fafsa.gov.
