| Applying for Financial
Aid

Step 1 – Get
a PIN
Apply
for a Federal PIN at www.pin.ed.gov
(if you don’t already have one). You will need this PIN to electronically
sign your FAFSA. If you are dependent, your parents will also need
to get a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov
to electronically sign the FAFSA. This will insure the quickest,
most accurate filing process. In addition, your PIN will also allow
you to:
- View the status and results of
a processed FAFSA application on the FAFSA on the Web site.
- Make corrections to your FAFSA
on the Web.
- Access your Federal Student Financial
Assistance information on the National Student Loan Data System
(NSLDS) Web site.
- Make address corrections to a Direct
Loan account, calculate a repayment schedule, and get interactive
counseling on deferment or forbearance for any Direct Loans on
the Direct Loan Servicing Web site.
- Complete Loan Entrance & Exit
Counseling.
- Sign your Direct Loan Master Promissory
Note.
- Request a duplicate copy of your
Student Aid Report (SAR).
