Why Do My Contributors and I Need Our Own StudentAid.gov Accounts for the FAFSA® Form?

Before you and your contributors start to fill out your online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, you’ll each need to create a StudentAid.gov account so that you can complete your required sections of the form and be eligible for federal student aid.

Your StudentAid.gov account contains verified personal information, so each StudentAid.gov account can link to only one person. Don’t wait. Take the first step to completing your FAFSA form today and create a StudentAid.gov account.
