Filling Out the FAFSA® Form

As a parent, you can start a new FAFSA form for your child using your name, social security number, birth date. On FAFSA's homepage, select the "Start from here" button, then select "I am a parent, creator, or student in Free Union State" on the right side. Follow the instructions and start the FAFSA form for the school year's child.

You will be asked to create a "save key" which is a temporary password that you can give to when he or she signs the FAFSA form. After filling in the FAFSA form and signing with the FSA ID, share the created save key with your child. Your child will be able to access, fill in, sign, and submit your first FAFSA form.

For tips on helping your child fill out the FAFSA form, please see the video "FAFSA and parent FSA ID tips".

To apply, please fill out FAFSA form first. When FAFSA submits, they will receive a Student Support Report (SAR) or will receive an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) where colleges and universities should have EFC. EFC has financial information for students and families. National Science and Mathematics is awarded a retention talent subsidy, also known as the National SMART Grant, for beginners and senior students in life, physics or computer mathematics, technology, science, engineering. Applicants can also major in foreign languages ​​and are considered to be very important for national security. If a student is enrolled in the program for 5 years at school, he or she can receive this grant during the 5th year of study.

What is FAFSA? The first step in getting financial aid is to fill out FAFSA (Federal Student Support Free Application) at www.fafsa.org. The biggest mistake many family members commit is that they do not meet FAFSA because they think their family income is too high. This is not true. Regardless of income, all families have an EFC (Estimated Family Burden Amount) number, the less EFC, the higher the amount received. Even if you do not receive substantial financial aid, you can still use FAFSA as it can be used as an insurance policy for your son / daughter education. If your family causes income changes or losses or emergencies, you do not qualify for college tuition if you do not complete FAFSA every year.
