How to Prepare for the FAFSA

Picture

Finding the FAFSA Online

Look for the Official Website of the United States Government Label
  • ​Ensure you are on the official site: studentaid.gov or fafsa.gov​
Beware of Scams
  • Check for the ".gov" domain - it should never say ".com" or anything else.
  • Never pay for the FAFSA - if you are being asked for payment information, it is a scam.

Creating a FSA ID

What is an FSA ID?
  • A username and password that gives you access to the Federal Student Aid's online system
  • Used to sign the FAFSA form electronically
  • Necessary for accessing and managing your federal student aid information
