If you are scheduled to graduate by June, this applies to you! Here are some tips you should remember:
- EVERYONE should apply for federal financial aid, regardless of family income levels. Many applications and scholarships are tied to having a completed FAFSA on file!
- FAFSA is mobile friendly: simply download the myStudentAid app on your apple or android device. Recent updates have made it so you can go between a mobile device and computer and continue working where you left off.
- Step One? Create your FSAID. You and your parent/guardian will need your own separate ID. For more information or to create your ID, click HERE
- When you set up your FSAID, don’t use your school email! Use something that will remain active after you’ve graduated. Write everything down! You’ll need to remember passwords for a long time. Use something you won’t forget and keep it somewhere safe.
- Even if you are unsure of your plans for next fall, file your FAFSA! It’s better to have it on file than to apply late-you are not committing to anything yet. AGAIN, IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT FALL, COMPLETE YOUR FAFSA ANYWAY.

- Also check with the financial aid office of the college or university you are interested in attending. Most of them will offer free assistance with the FAFSA.
