Step #5: People in the Household

• This question applies only to students who answered Yes to any question in Step #3. Follow the same guidelines as per Questions 66 and 67.
• If you did not answer yes to any question in Step #3, it's okay to leave this section blank!

Step #6: The Homestretch

• Indicate which schools you, the student, plan to attend and where you plan to live while attending school.
• To get the six-digit school code, use our FAFSA School Codes Search Directory.
• This should be a list of the top 6 schools you plan to attend. If you don't have 6 schools, add backup schools to the list. If you have more than 6 schools you are planning to attend, pick the top 6.
• Don't miss Question 98. A lot of people skim past it or don't see it.
