New This Year!!!
Create an FSA ID online before attending a workshop (FAFSA only).

Beginning May 10, 2015, the Federal Student Aid PIN was replaced with the FSA ID. An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on ED websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) at fafsa.gov.
