Federal Student Financial Aid Application
Students looking for federal student financial aid should visit the official FAFSA site (www.fafsa.ed.gov) and download the form or create an online account. This is important because many students commit mistakes due to lack of knowledge of the essential that the FAFSA application warrants.
The students should carefully read all questions asked in the form and answer each of them without skipping any, as it will result in rejection of the form and the aid. All the questions contained in the form should be answered accurately and if a student requires any help on any question, he can visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/faq001.htm and resolve his queries.
If a student is using a paper form of FAFSA, he/she should first get the same photo copied to avoid mistakes, overwriting and follow all the instructions to the line. If the form is required to be filled with black pen, it should only be filled with a black pen as negligence can cost rejection. The FAFSA form requires detailed personal information about the student and so a student should gather all his personal details before filling out the actual form.
The FAFSA form queries are :
- Social Security Number of the applicant
- Drivers license
- W-2 forms and records of money earned
- Federal Income Tax Returns
- In case of dependent students, income tax returns of both the parents
- Current Bank statements
- For non U.S citizens, their permanent resident card
- Student Marital status
- Selective Service Registration
- Detail information about parents
- Student financial information and spousal financial information if applicable
- Drug related convictions
Apart from filling the above information, students should make sure of filling the correct school or college year for which the aid is required. Students should avoid writing in the margins as this, results in the rejection of the application. Always use whole numbers while filling the FAFSA form. The students, after reading thoroughly all the queries should answer all questions in complete and thereafter sign the application as required.
