Reminder: You must complete your FSA ID before you can submit your FAFSA
Prior to starting your FAFSA, students and their parents will need to create an FSA ID at Studentaid.gov . The FSA ID will serve as your log-in information to access and submit the application.
To get an FSA ID, you will need this information:
- Your Social Security number
- Your full name
- Your date of birth
It typically takes 3-5 business days to confirm your FSA ID, and then you will be able to complete the FAFSA Application.
