WE’VE PUT TOGETHER THESE 3 EASY STEPS TO GET YOU STARTED WITH THE 2024-25 FAFSA:

STEP 1

Create your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.
Here is a helpful handout to walk you through the steps in creating your ID. The student needs one, as well as one parent of a dependent student.

STEP 2

Gather all the information you need.
INvestEd has created a FAFSA Checklist to help you identify what you’ll need, and a place to write down your FSA ID.

STEP 3

File your application.
A critical piece is providing accurate tax information which most filers are able to transfer directly from the IRS. Providing consent for this data exchange is required to receive federal aid.

What is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA is the most important form for Financial Aid. We know that college can sound like an expensive choice. The good news is there’s often money available to help cover the cost, even for many families that think they will not receive any help. To be eligible for most financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
