TIPS for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

Tip 1

What are the Types of Financial Aid?

Check out this video to learn about grants, loans, and work-study jobs and how they can help fund your education.

Tip 2

FAFSA: Determining Your Dependency Status

Do I need my parent or contributor to complete the FAFSA?
Am I an independent or dependent student?

Tip 3

How do I explain my parent or contributor that they will need to complete the FAFSA?

Make sure contributors understand that they will need their own StudentAid.gov account and that providing their information on your FAFSA form does not make them financially responsible for your education.

Tip 4

How Do I Complete the 2024–25 FAFSA® Form If My Parents Are Divorced or Separated?

Parent information is required when completing and submitting the FAFSA form if you’re considered a dependent student. If your parents are divorced or separated, which parent’s information will be required is determined by whether your parents live together or not, and which parent provided the most financial support.

Tip 5

How Do I Create a StudentAid.gov Account If I Don’t Have a Social Security Number?

To complete the 2024–25 online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, you will need a StudentAid.gov account. Starting in December 2023, you will be able to create a StudentAid.gov account even if you don’t have a Social Security number (SSN). To do so, you’ll follow the prompts on-screen to enter your information and select the “I don’t have a Social Security number” checkbox.

Tip 6

What do I do if my parent does not have an SSN and/or is a Non-Citizen?

It’s important to complete the 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form to be eligible for federal student aid even if your parent is not a U.S. citizen.

Tip 7

How do I Submit the 2024–25 FAFSA® Form if my Contributor or parent Doesn’t Have an SSN?

All contributors without an SSN, including those with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), will need to manually enter their financial information into the FAFSA. Contributors without an SSN who create a StudentAid.gov account will need to complete an identity validation process after they create the account. The U.S. Department of Education has made temporary adjustments so that contributors who do not have an SSN can still contribute to the 2024–25 FAFSA form while they are completing the identity validation process.

I enjoyed all my teachers. They made it interesting and challenging. I enjoyed going back to school at the age of 48! Career Services was a big help to me. Danielle was great. She helped me with my resume and showed me how to apply. I got the job with Dietz and Watson! Pennco Tech was the right choice for me as I get ready to start my career.
