Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step to securing how to pay for college. Beginning October 1st, students and their guardians can apply if they plan to attend a college or university in 2019.

In order to complete the FAFSA, you will need:

• 2017 federal tax return and W2s  

• 2017 untaxed income records, such as child support or veteran’s non-education benefits

• Information on savings, investments, business assets and farm assets (if applicable)

• Cell phone (if you have one)

• Driver’s License (if you have one)

• Social Security Number/Alien Registration Card/Permanent Resident Card

• Date of birth for parent(s)

• Month and year of parents’ marriage, divorce or separation

• FSA ID (if you have one). You can visit fsaid.ed.gov to create your FSA ID. For assistance with the process, please call 1-800-433-3243.

  • The FSA ID is your signature, so it has to be unique to you and will be your FSA ID for life.

  • Every student and at least one parent of a dependent student will need an FSA ID.

  • If a parent already has an FSA ID or has more than one child attending college, the parent will use the same FSA ID to sign all applications, but each child must have his or her own FSA ID.

  • Each FSA ID user must have a unique mobile phone number and/or email address.
