Quick Financial Aid Tips

  • When the FAFSA refers to "I", "You", "Your", etc. it is referring to the student! (not the parent, family, or FAFSA preparer)
  • Always double check even basic things like your address and ZIP code.
  • Nothing will kill a FAFSA faster than errors or omissions! Check everything!
  • Colors matter and each year's FAFSA is different.
    • For the 2009-2010 FAFSA, student related items are in green, while items for the parent(s) are in purple.
