Create and Access Your StudentAid.gov Account

If you plan to submit a 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form, you will need to create a StudentAid.gov account username and password.
Not only can you use your StudentAid.gov account to complete and sign the FAFSA form, but you can also use it to sign the Master Promissory Note to receive student loans. You’ll also be able to explore loan repayment plans and access valuable resources like loan counseling and the PSLF (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) Help Tool.
Each contributor must create their own StudentAid.gov account. It’s important to safeguard account credentials and not share them with others, including family members. This video covers how to regain access to your account if necessary.
The 2024-25 FAFSA form is available for students attending college between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. When you submit your completed FAFSA form, you’ll get an email confirming that we received your form with preliminary information related to your eligibility for federal student aid. We’ll provide your FAFSA eligibility information to your school(s) and state in the first half of March. More information: StudentAid.gov/announcements-...
Pro tip: We strongly recommend that students start and complete their section of the 2024-25 FAFSA form first to save time and prevent errors. For more tips on completing the form head to StudentAid.gov/announcements-...

Do both parents need to create an account if living together, married and file taxed jointly?

[@wormguy1283]

their customer identification program is darkly triadic.

[@madeintexas4620]

If parents filed married jointly, only one parent needs to create account.

If I have a username and password from last year will I have to create a new one this year

[@jgjohnny5836]

Please sir/Madam. I am International students from Ghana. Can I apply or qualify to apply. Thank you.

[@Adam-ll8ow]

I looked this up this for you. What I’m seeing is that you are not eligible for FAFSA if you are not a US citizen, unfortunately. However, you can apply for an International Student Loan. Good luck!

[@Adam-ll8ow]

(If you are a citizen but are living elsewhere, you can still apply.)

What if my mom and my stepdad are filing for divorce and he doesn’t want to consent?

[@ContortyEva]

think you only need 1 parent

[@lilianordonez22]

You only need the information of your mom because you live with her, and she is the one that provide you with more support.
