How to Apply for Financial Aid
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The FAFSA must be completed each year if you would like to apply for federal and state financial aid (grants, work study, and loans). Most students and families choose to submit an electronic FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov.
The student and at least one parent (dependent students) whose information was used on the FAFSA should apply for a federal Personal Identification Number (PIN) at www.pin.ed.gov or while completing the FAFSA online. The federal PIN will serve as your signature on the FAFSA and will also allow you to make online corrections, if necessary.
To help you with your financial aid planning, please see the sections of our website that refer to Timelines and Important Dates and Deadlines.
