10.26.09 | FAFSA Applications
These days most students complete their FAFSA application form online. However, you do have other options. Let’s take a look at all three ways you can file your FAFSA.
- Online application which goes directly into the Central Processing System. This is the most popular option today.
- A Financial Aid Officer at your school can submit your application through FAA Access or CPS online. If you are not computer savvy this is probably the best way to complete your application.
- A Paper FAFSA application, which you can get through your school (although they can only request 50 copies each semester), by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID, or by simply (clicking here). For those weary about putting their personal financial details into the computer a paper application is probably for you.
Important note: You need a PIN number to complete your FAFSA online. Your PIN number serves as your signature and should never be shared with anyone. You can visit www.pin.ed.gov to request a PIN number.
