Get Started With the FAFSA
To apply for financial aid, the first thing all students—undergraduate, graduate, and law—must do is complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Our school code for the FAFSA is 003197.
You may have heard the news that the FAFSA is getting a major remodel this year! The goal is to make it simpler to complete, but it also means the FAFSA for the 2024-25 year won’t be available until December 2023.
Pro Tip: you need an FSA ID to complete the FAFSA. Here’s a quick video tutorial to help with that process. You and anyone else (like a parent!) who will be contributing information to your FAFSA should create an FSA ID at least a couple of days before you file the FAFSA. The FSA ID portal is available now, so you don’t have to wait until the FAFSA opens.
