| Filling Out A FAFSA
A FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, needs to be completed before applying for government grants and most government loans (such as the Stafford or Perkins). Your school will use information from the FAFSA to determine whether or not you qualify to receive federal student aid. A FAFSA can be found on the internet or through your school's financial aid office. This article explains the electronic application process. Completing a FAFSA online is fast, free, and simple. Before Completing a FAFSA: The first thing that you will need to do before filling out a FAFSA is to obtain a PIN (Personal Identification Number. ) You can apply for a PIN through the U. S. Department of Education at www. pin. ed. gov. Your parents will also need a PIN if you are a dependent. You can use your PIN to electronically sign your FAFSA, review your Student Aid Report (SAR), reapply for student aid annually, and see online information about your federal loans and grants. You will need to have certain documents on hand so that you can refer to them as you complete your FAFSA. These documents are: your Social Security card (you won't need this if you have your SSN memorized), driver's license, previous years W-2 form and any additional records of money earned, last years Federal Income Tax Return, and your parents' Federal Income Tax return from last year. You will also need your untaxed income records (social security, temporary assistance to needy families, welfare, or veteran's benefits) from last year, current bank statements, and current business and investment information. Filling Out A FAFSA: Once you have acquired your PIN and the needed documents, you may start filling out a FAFSA. 1. On FAFSA. ed. gov click on � Filling Out a FAFSA� (it's step #2 on the left side of the screen. ) Follow the instructions and then use you and your parent's PINs to sign electronically before you begin filling out the application. If you don't have a PIN, you can print, sign, and mail in a signature page. 2. Follow the instructions to fill out the application. 3. Examine your answers carefully, you will not want to leave any mistakes. 4. Click the "Submit my FAFSA Now" button once you have completed the entire application. Clicking this button brings you to a webpage with your confirmation number and an estimated amount of how much money you are likely to receive. Print this page and place it somewhere safe. Follow-Up: When you are done with the FAFSA you will receive a follow-up letter. If you provided them with an email address, they will send you an email in about five days, if not, you'll receive a letter in the mail in about two weeks. This email/letter will give provide you with a link to your electronic Student Aid Report (SAR). Follow this link and check your SAR cautiously to make sure your answers are accurate.
