Preparing for the FAFSA for Fall 2023-Spring 2024
Step 1: The student and one parent each get an FSA ID. It is best to set-up the FSA ID several days before you actually want to complete the FAFSA. Your FSA ID is unique; once you complete the process, you use the same FSA ID every time you complete the FAFSA in future years.
To get your FSA ID, you will need your social security number, a personal email, and cell phone number to get started.
