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."
