It’s time to complete the FAFSA!!!

FAFSA Information

It’s almost time to start filling out your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)! Everyone planning to attend a two-year or four-year college next year should complete the FAFSA. Here are some things to remember:

• Where to find the FAFSA: Go to fafsa. to complete your FAFSA beginning January 1st. Do not use any other website to complete your FAFSA and do not pay anyone or any website to help you with the FAFSA.

• Create a PIN number: Each student and one parent/guardian needs to create their own PIN. You can do this before January 1st if you’d like. Before beginning the FAFSA each student and one parent must have a PIN so you can electronically sign your FAFSA. If your parent is in college or has another child in college they can use the PIN number they used on their previous FAFSA. Go to pin. to create your PIN.

• When to complete the FAFSA: You want to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st. Government financial aid is limited and some aid may not be available if you wait too late to file the FAFSA. However, in order for your FAFSA to be accurate, you should complete your taxes first. It is highly recommended that you have your 2011 tax information ready when you sit down to work on the FAFSA. However, if necessary, you can use your 2010 tax information as an estimate and amend your FAFSA after filing your 2011 tax returns.
