Financial Aid

Please remember that you can contact ANY local college and they will be happy to talk or meet with you to help you complete the FAFSA, no matter where you plan on attending college in the future. 

How do you create an FSA ID?

To create an FSA ID, each person contributing information to the FAFSA needs to go to studentaid.gov and click “create account” in the upper right-hand corner. The application is available in English and Spanish.
Each person will need the following:

  • Full name and social security number as they appear on social security card (if applicable) 

  • Date of birth

  • Valid email address and phone number

  • Immediate access to your email account

  • Your residential address

Please note: Parents or guardians of students who have a sibling who has already attended college may already have an FSA ID.

Who needs to create an FSA ID?

Every person contributing information to the FAFSA will need an FSA ID - including parents who do not have a social security number.

Independent students do not need a parent or guardian to create an FSA ID. Students can review their FAFSA dependency status to determine if they qualify as independent students.
