CLICK HERE to watch a short video about why to fill out a FAFSA and how to get started. (CLICK HERE for Spanish version!) You’ve got this.
STEP 1: SIGN UP FOR AN FSA ID
Create your ID HERE!
Your FSA ID is a username and password combination, which can be used to log in to FAFSA and sign the form. Your FSA ID stays the same year after year (you’ll use it again in college!). Students and parents need their own unique FSA IDs.
You will need a social security or ID number and an email or cell phone number to complete this step.
STEP 2: COLLECT DOCUMENTS
STEP 3: FILL OUT AND SUBMIT YOUR FAFSA (STARTING 10/1/21)
You are not alone.
The College Planning Center of RI is here to help you every step of the way!
