Is the FAFSA for You?
YES! Almost everyone should complete the FAFSA. Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify for funding, try anyway—you never know!
Do you and your parents need to be full U.S. citizens? NO. Apply if you’re a citizen, permanent resident, have an F-1 visa or here legally as a refugee.
OR
What if your parents aren’t in the U.S. legally? THAT’S OK, as long as you are in the U.S. legally. Your parents are protected because other federal agencies by law cannot see your FAFSA application. But you do have to take special steps. SEE OTHER SIDEx
OR
What if you aren’t in the U.S legally? GOOD QUESTION. You cannot receive federal student aid, but you may qualify for state financial aid or other kinds of financing, including scholarships from colleges or local foundations. The trick? You can’t file online. SEE OTHER SIDEx
Before you tackle the form, you will need a computer and an email address you check frequently. You will also need to gather a lot of personal and family financial information…
Checking your email daily is
VERY IMPORTANT. Colleges and FASFA
won’t send texts.
Be Prepared! Getting Started…
What Do You & Your Parents Earn? Submit Your FAFSA!Show Me the Money!
Who Are Your Parents?
Who’s in Your Household?
PERSONAl IDENTIfIcATION
z Your Social Security number.
z Social Security numbers for one or both parents.
z Your driver’s license, if you have one.
z Your alien registration or permanent resident card, if you’re not a U.S. citizen.
fINANcIAl INfORMATION
z Your parents’ tax records, if you are dependent on one or both of them. Or a copy of your parents’ foreign tax return, if they live outside the U.S., including Puerto Rico.
z Your own tax records, if you filed a recent tax return.
z Records of untaxed income in your family like Social Security, welfare benefits or veterans benefits.
Keep All records in a safe place. Colleges may need to
see copies. And you may need these records next year. Colleges will want to see paperwork that proves you’re
independent. Make sure you have it.
You don’t need to have your Social Security cards in hand,
but be sure names and numbers you enter match the cards exactly.
Many colleges demand PROOf of the information on your fAfSA form. Some colleges want even
more information. STAY IN clOSE TOUcH and give your college everything they ask for.
Think you’re finished? Think again. Many problems happen AfTER the form is submitted.
Think you’re finished? Think again. Many problems happen AfTER the form is submitted.
“DEPENDENT” Ideally, you include both parents, but one
parent is fine if that’s the parent you live with and depend on. SEE OTHER SIDEx
?“TAX REcORD” These include annual tax returns (IRS 1040,
1040A, 1040EZ) and any documents used to fill out the return (like an employer’s W-2 statements, bank statements or mortgage documents).
?
“EXPECTED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION” The government needs to estimate how much your family will be able to con-
tribute to your college costs. To do this, the FAFSA asks for your family’s income and how many people this income must support.
?
HOUSEHOLD INCOME This is the total income generated by
you and the parent or parents you depend on. Income from others in the household is not counted.
?
Find a computer and get settled in—ideally with a parent, teacher, guidance counselor or adult who can guide you. (Or do the form themselves!)
Go to www.fafsa.ed.govBe sure to go to THIS website. Other similar websites make you pay to file your FAFSA. The real FAFSA application is free.
NEXT STEPS:
z Choose a Federal Student Aid Personal Identification Number (called a “PIN”) and password. Keep these safe. You’ll need them to submit your FAFSA and update your form later on.
z And you’ll need your list of colleges. You can list up to 10 schools. If you’re applying to more than 10 or want to change your list, you can do this later.
The FAFSA needs you and your parent’s most recent tax information to determine your income. Did everyone file tax returns for the previous year? Great! You can “link” electronically to this tax info from the FAFSA website. The website shows you how.
Once you’ve completed the form, double-check EVERYTHING. Click “SUBMIT MY FAFSA NOW.” Whooohoo!!!
Good News! If you have everything in order, the FAFSA can take less than one hour to complete. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to finish in one sitting.)
But for many students and families, the FAFSA form can be cOMPlIcATED or cONfUSING. The following questions are designed to help you deal with any sticky parts of the form.
Are You “Dependent” On at Least One of Them? For almost everyone under the age of 2X, the answer is YES…
fOR fAfSA, YOU’RE “DEPENDENT” If:
You live with at least one parent. (That’s known as your “custodial” parent.) For the FAFSA, a parent is:
• Your birth mother or father,
• A parent who adopted you, or
• A stepparent who’s married to your birth or adoptive parent
OR
You’re in touch with at least one parent, as defined above. You may actually be living with a grandparent, another relative, or a close friend. You may living on your own and supporting yourself. For FAFSA, you are still “dependent” on your parents if you have occasional contact.
fOR fAfSA, YOU’RE “INDEPENDENT” If:
• You’re 2X years old or older,
• Married,
• Supporting kids of your own, or
• Orphaned, in foster care, in legal guardianship, or a ward of the court.
WHAT If NEITHER cATEGORY fITS?
You may be a candidate for a “DEPENDENcY OVERRIDE” if you have NO contact with your parents. See other side for details. SEE OTHER SIDEx
Who Do Your Parents Support Financially? If you’re a dependent, this should include:
z YOUR PARENT OR PARENTS.
• If you live with both parents, that counts as 2.
• If you live with one parent, that’s 1.
• If you divide your time between your parents’ homes, count the parent where you spend most of your time, who is 1.
z ANYONE SUPPORTED bY THE PARENTS YOU ARE lIVING WITH:
• Brothers and sisters (full, half or step) at home or in college.
• Anyone else in the home (cousins, aunts, grandparents) if your parents are providing more than half their support.
z YOU!! DON’T fORGET TO cOUNT YOURSElf. MANY KIDS DO…
Linking to the government’s IRS website is easiest and safest
way to fill out FAFSA. And it will save you headaches later. Colleges will know your income information is accurate and won’t have to ask you for proof. They can trust information gathered from the IRS.
Linking electronically can be a problem for some families, who may not have filed taxes recently, file outside of the U.S. or have other issues. Many problems can be solved. See the other side of the poster for details. SEE OTHER SIDEx
Once the application is complete, FAFSA automatically sends your info to the colleges on your list. You can add or delete colleges on the FAFSA website. Now you need to work with the colleges to get the financial aid you need…
z Call your colleges. Make sure they have everything.
z Update your FAFSA form after April 15 with your latest tax info.
z Wait for your acceptance letters!!! Colleges that want you will tell you how much you can get from the government and their scholarship funds.
z Problems? Remain calm and work with your
Congratulations!You’re on your way to college. Have a great year!
Be sure to cHEcK YOUR EMAIl DAIlY. Within a few days, you should get a “Student Aid Report.” It contains a summary of the financial information and FAFSA’s Estimated Family Contribution, a critical number for you. Government and colleges will use this number to decide how much $$$ to offer you.
z cAREfUllY REVIEW for errors. Correct them on-line.
z bE SURE to read the “comments” section of the report to make sure that FAFSA actually processed your application. (They don’t if there are problems.)
z If you don’t get an email, check on-line. The report is there as well. Problems? See back of this poster. SEE OTHER SIDEx
Need Money for college?Here’s how to get from here to there.
Most students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (better known as FAFSA) to get financial support from government and colleges. But the form can be tricky for many students—particularly those who are recent arrivals to the U.S. or live in homes different from the traditional two-parent family that FAFSA was designed for. The FAFSA is A lOT easier if you know what to expect. let this poster guide you.
