Creating a FSA ID to apply for financial Aid
If you are a first-time user, you will be required to create an FSA ID and will enter your name, date of birth, Social Security number, contact information, and challenge questions and answers. The FSA ID, which consists of a user-created username and password, replaced the PIN effective May, 2015. It allows users to electronically access personal information on federal student aid web sites as well as to electronically sign a FAFSA.
Note: For those who have a Federal Student Aid PIN, you will be able to enter it and link it to your FSA ID; however, if you do not remember your PIN, you can still create an FSA ID.
