FAFSA on the Web - The "Free Application for Federal Student Aid"...

• The FAFSA must be completed in order to qualify for all types of student aid on the federal, state, and institutional level. 

• The FAFSA must be completed after January 1st of the student's senior year in high school. 

• The deadline for completion will vary according to the deadlines established by each institution to which the student applied.  It is the student's responsibility to meet the earliest deadline of the schools to which he/she applied.

• To apply for a federal aid PIN: www.pin.ed.gov
  • Both the student and a parent should apply for a federal aid PIN.  This enables the student and parent to electronically sign the FAFSA on the Web and to access financial aid records online.
