Inform the public that FAFSA is for anyone who wants postsecondary education — two-year, four-year, and VoTech students should all submit a FAFSA.
Stay tuned for more information about FAFSA.

Those submitting a FAFSA for school:
Preparation is key.

Create an FSA ID now. FSA ID’s are required usernames for FAFSA. They take 1-3 days to be verified before they can be used to submit a FAFSA. Create an FSA ID BEFORE attending FAFSA completion sessions. There is an alternate process to create an FSA ID if you do not have a social security number.
Gather necessary documentation to make FAFSA completion easier.
Have the list of ANY schools you are considering. FAFSA can be sent to a school, even if you don’t apply or attend. You must add schools to your FAFSA for them to receive it.
Find out dependency status according to Federal Student Aid.
