Online Applications

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)*
The FAFSA must be submitted every year you apply for aid. After filing your first FAFSA, you will be given the option the following year of pre-filling the new FAFSA with your previously submitted personal and financial information. Choosing this option is the easiest way to complete the new FAFSA. Then you simply review the information and provide updates where necessary before filing the FAFSA.
The easiest way to sign the FAFSA is electronically with a PIN. Apply for the PIN well ahead of time at www.pin.ed.gov. Both the parent and student must apply individually for unique PINs. Keep a record of your PINs for next year's FAFSA so that you don't have to re-apply. The FAFSA can also be signed using the signature page which must be printed, signed by parent and student, and then mailed to the address provided in the FAFSA online instructions.
