Financial Aid
 FAFSA is the KEY! The Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) is the key that opens the door to financial aid. It serves as
the application for most of the financial aid from federal and state
programs and from colleges and universities. Even if you are not sure
that you will need financial aid, we recommend that you fill out a
FAFSA anyway -- it's free.
 You should submit the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible,
making sure you meet any college or state deadlines. The quickest
and most accurate way to file the FAFSA is online. In contrast to a
paper copy, the online form displays only the data entry fields you
need to complete. You also receive directions as you need them. The
FAFSA site is also available in Spanish.
 To complete the FAFSA you are required to provide your signature
and that of at least one parent if you are a dependent student. You
can either print a signature page that can be mailed to the processing
center, or you can sign the FAFSA electronically using your Federal
Student Aid PIN. Your parent will need his/her own PIN to sign your
FAFSA. Your PIN stays the same so you and your parent do not need
to apply for new PINs each year. To apply for a PIN or to request a
duplicate, go to www.pin.ed.gov. Remember, your FAFSA will not be
processed without the required signature.
Financial Aid
 If you prefer to fill out a paper copy of the FAFSA, you can obtain
one by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at
 1-800-4-FED-AID.
 The FAFSA may not be the only form required to receive an
award letter from a school. You must also complete the college
admissions process. Check with each of the colleges and
universities you listed on your FAFSA to determine their
requirements.
 If you filed your FAFSA electronically, you will receive an
electronic Student Aid Report (SAR) within a few days of
submitting your completed FAFSA. (SAR results may take three
weeks if you filed a paper FAFSA.) The SAR is the result of your
FAFSA. Read it immediately and follow any directions. The
schools you list on the FAFSA will also receive results.
