    In this webinar we walk you through completing the Fafsa form for next years 2024/2025 academic year. This Fafsa form guide is to help the parent's that are married or remarried complete the form.
    Free Application for Federal Student Aid
    Before each year of college, apply for federal grants, work-study, and loans with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. Your college uses your FAFSA data to determine your federal aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid.
    The FSA ID allows students and parents to identify themselves electronically to access Federal Student Aid websites. An FSA ID is made up of a username and password and can be used to log into the online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form.
    "The FAFSA becomes available on October 1, and some schools award financial aid on a first-come, first-served basis. That's why it's so important for families to fill out the FAFSA as soon as it becomes available - because it increases the likelihood a family will receive an aid amount they are comfortable with.
    The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is a form completed by current and prospective college students in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. The FAFSA is different than CSS Profile, which is also required by some colleges.
    Student financial aid in the United States is funding that is available exclusively to students attending a post-secondary educational institution in the United States. This funding is used to assist in covering the many costs incurred in the pursuit of post-secondary education.

    My daughter invited us before we to create our account and filled out her part and signed. She finished our part too but we aren’t allowed to sign until to create our account. We finally created our account after 25 days trying. Because we don’t have a SSN we needed to call them to verify our ID, we did , and They sent a email to us with a form to sign and send back with a ID. We sent back everything to them on same day, and our account still pending.
    After these delays, my big concern is: Do you think is going to match, my daughter put De Souza as my last name when she was filling my part on her form. And I put Desouza when I created my account.
    Please Edy Zamora let me know, thank you so much for the very informative video.
