Financial Aid Made Easy.

申请经济资助

Completing the 免费申请联邦学生资助 (FAFSA) form is the first step to obtaining federal student aid to pay for your college or career school. Follow these eight simple steps to set yourself up for success and submit the form on time. Here are quick instructions and a checklist to help you file for financial aid form:

  • Student: FSA ID为帐户的用户名和密码. 你需要它来在线签署FAFSA表格. 如果你没有FSA ID，可以登录 create an FSA ID 在线完成联邦学生援助任务. 创建FSA ID耗时约10分钟. 
     
  • Parent: If you are the parent, you need to create your own FSA ID to sign your child’s FAFSA form online. Create an FSA ID . As a parent, you’ll be able to use your FSA ID right away. 

Some of the most common FAFSA errors 发生在学生和家长混淆了他们的FSA id时. 如果你不想耽误你的经济资助, it’s extremely important that each parent and each student create his or her own FSA ID and not share it with anyone, including each other. 

FAFSA可在网上查询 studentaid.gov.

  • If you are the student, 选择“我是一名学生，想要访问FAFSA表格。.然后，使用您的FSA ID登录. 
     
  • If you are the parent, select “I am a parent filling out a FAFSA form for a student.在选择父角色之后, 您需要提供您孩子的名字, their date of birth, 以及他们的社会安全号码. 

TIP: If you see the option to complete a “renewal” FAFSA form, choose that option. When you choose to renew your FAFSA form, your demographic information from the previous year will roll over into your new application, 这样可以节省您的时间. 

Create a save key.

  • 与FSA ID不同，保存密钥可以共享. A save key is a temporary password that allows you and your parent(s) to “pass” the FAFSA form back and forth. It also allows you to save the FAFSA form and return to it later. The key is especially helpful if you and your parent are not in the same place. 

请记住，FAFSA表格不是“一劳永逸”的事件. 你必须每学年填写一份FAFSA表格. 

The Student Demographics section includes your name, date of birth, etc. If you either completed the FAFSA form in the past or logged into the FAFSA form with your FSA ID, most of your personal information will prepopulate to save you time. Make sure you enter your personal information exactly as it appears on your Social Security card. (没错，没有昵称.)

Parents:
Remember that the FAFSA form is the student’s application and not yours. When the FAFSA form says “you” or “your,” it’s referring to the student (unless otherwise noted). Pay attention to whether you’re asked to provide student or parent information.

在依赖状态部分中, you’ll need to respond to a series of specific questions that determine whether you need to provide parent information on the FAFSA form. 

The U.S. 国会制定了依赖指导方针. 它们与美国国税局使用的指导方针不同. 即使你一个人住, support yourself, 自己报税, you may still be considered a dependent student for federal student aid purposes. If you are a dependent student, you’ll need to report information about your parent(s). 如果你是一个独立的学生, 你不需要提供家长信息, 你可以跳过下一步. 了解这些依赖项状态问题和 无论你是独立学生还是独立学生. 

Your dependency status determines whose information you must report when you fill out the FAFSA form.

  • If you’re a dependent student, you will report your and your parents’ information.
  • 如果你是一个独立的学生, 您将报告您自己的信息(和, if you’re married, your spouse’s).

Undergraduate students who are under the age of 24 are considered to be dependent for federal student aid purposes unless they are married, have dependents other than a spouse for which they provide more than half of their support, 你是孤儿还是法庭的监护人, 是美国退伍军人或现役军人.S. 武装部队，或满足其他非常有限的标准. 

Next, you and your parent(s) (if applicable) will provide financial information. This step is incredibly simple if you use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT). The IRS DRT allows you to import your IRS tax information into the FAFSA form with just a few clicks. Also, using this tool may reduce the amount of paperwork you need to provide to your school. 所以，如果你有资格的话，一定要使用它. 

Once you have indicated that you have completed your taxes, you may be eligible to use the IRS DRT. If so, select the button to link to the IRS and follow the prompts. 

You’re not finished with the FAFSA form until you (and your parent, 如果你是一个独立的学生)在表格上签名. The quickest and easiest way to sign your FAFSA form is online with your FSA ID. 

Note: If you (the student) logged in to the FAFSA form with your FSA ID at the beginning, 您不需要在此页面上再次提供它. But, 如果你是一个独立的学生, your parent will still need to sign it before you can completely submit the form. 

Sign and Submit Tips:

  • 如果你或你的父母忘记了你的FSA ID，你可以 检索帐户用户名和密码. 
  • 确保你和你的父母没有混淆你的FSA id. 这是我们看到的最常见的错误之一. This mistake is why it’s extremely important for each person to create his or her own FSA ID and not share it with anyone. 
  • Make sure the parent who is using his or her FSA ID to sign the FAFSA form chooses the right parent choice from the options. 
  • 这是你应该做的，如果你得到 an error saying that your FSA ID information doesn’t match FAFSA表格上提供的信息. 
  • If you have siblings, your parent can use the same FSA ID to sign FAFSA forms for each child. Your parent can also transfer his or her information into your sibling’s application by choosing the option provided on the FAFSA confirmation page.
