Know Your PIN
Prior to completing a FAFSA for the first time students and their parents will need to apply for a Federal PIN by visiting www.pin.ed.gov. Your PIN will be used each year when filing the FAFSA, in addition to serving many other federal aid related functions.
In the event that the PIN is forgotten or lost, users may "Request a Duplicate PIN" at www.pin.ed.gov.
File your FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be filed beginning January 1 of each year. Visit www.fafsa.gov to apply. The FAFSA is a FREE application. If you need any assistance in completing the FAFSA please contact our office to discuss questions or schedule an appointment. The FAFSA should be completed for each year that you would like to receive financial aid.
After filing your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR), listing the information from your FAFSA. Your SAR also lists your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is used to determine your eligibility for need based aid. Please review your SAR for accuracy and make any necessary corrections online. If your family's financial situation changes after you submit your FAFSA, you may request a review of your eligibility by contacting the Office of Student Financial Aid.
