In order to receive financial aid from the government to attend a college or university, you must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA includes information that determines your eligibility to receive federal grants and loans based on your financial situation. If you decide on other colleges and universities after you have sent your initial FAFSA application, you can transfer your FAFSA to a new school with a few clicks of the mouse.
Instructions
1. Visit the FAFSA website and click the "Start Here" button in the middle of the home page. Enter your full name, Social Security number, date of birth and federal student aid PIN number. Press "Next" to continue into your FAFSA account.
2. Add the school you wish to receive your FAFSA application. Click the "Add or Delete School Code" link, enter the school code and press the "OK" button to add. If you are unsure of your school's unique code, click the "School Code Search" button and search for your institution.
3. Print out the confirmation page of your FAFSA application. Take the printout to your school's admissions department for them to submit your FAFSA records into their system.
