Application
To
apply for Financial Aid for the 2007-2008
school year, you can either complete a paper FAFSA or complete the FAFSA
online.
There are many advantages to applying online.
-
Your application is
processed faster
-
Online logic allows
you to complete only the sections you need based on your circumstances
-
Online edits inform
you of missing or inconsistent information
-
Receive an online
confirmation of completion
-
Ensure that you meet
application deadlines
You and/or your parent
must have a PIN # from the U.S. Department of Education to
electronically sign your FAFSA. If you or your parent do not have a PIN
#, go to the
www.pin.ed.gov to apply for one.
You should next
download and complete the
FASFA on the Web Worksheet. The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet is
designed to follow the online FAFSA application. It is a much better
tool to use than the paper FAFSA when applying online. There is also a
Spanish FAFSA on the
Web Worksheet.
After your application
is processed online, if you provided an email address, you will receive
an email with a link to your Student Aid Report (SAR). If you did not
provide an email address, you will receive your SAR by regular mail. Be
sure to check your SAR to make sure the information is correct.
If you do not receive
a response within three weeks, go to
www.fafsa.ed.gov and select "Check the Status of a Submitted FAFSA."
