Financial Aid Info – 2009
Posted by Mrs. Hughes on February 1, 2009
As the FAFSA filing season approaches, students and parents can better inform themselves about the application process by viewing Do You Need Money for College?
Steps to Federal Student Aid explains the FAFSA application and submission process in seven steps.
A personal identification number called a Federal Student Aid PIN can be used to electronically sign the FAFSA, drastically decreasing the application’s processing time. To save time, students and parents should request PINs before students apply for aid. A Federal Student Aid Pin also may be used to sign other forms and to access student information. PINs must be requested online at www.pin.ed.gov.
The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet is a useful tool in preparing to complete the online FAFSA. The worksheet lists the FAFSA questions and provides boxes for students’ (and parents’) answers. The order of the questions on the worksheet follows that of FAFSA on the Web, which differs from the paper FAFSA. Students and parents can view and download the worksheet PDF at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov/worksheet.
Students should visit www.fafsa.ed.gov to complete the online FAFSA. If a Web site requests credit card information or some other form of payment to complete the FAFSA then that Web site is not the official government (FREE) Web site.
